A Hurdle to Success: Access, Retention and the Culture of Sport at the University of Toronto
Wednesday January 22 from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm
The Anti-Racism & Cultural Diversity Office recently launched its new drop-in program “Unfiltered: Truth Talks” – a safe space for students to engage conversations around race, racism, ethnicity, culture, creed and the intersections among them, inside and outside of the classroom. The program is peer facilitated and is an opportunity for students to support each other and find community amongst those with similar lived experiences. Although we are starting on the University of Toronto – St. George Campus, there are intentions to expand tri-campus as the program develops.
The program will run monthly for the winter 2013/14 term, with its next session scheduled for Monday, January 13, 2014 from 4pm to 6pm, location TBA. “Like” our Facebook page for updates about themes, more programming dates, and location information.
Wounds to Wisdom: In Pursuit of Reconciliation and Justice
Wounds into Wisdom is a series of engaging events and workshops that aim to engage the campus community in critical conversations, guided reflection, self-evaluation and capacity building. Within the scope of this program, “forgiveness” is interpreted to include the related concepts of restorative justice, apology, redress and reparations. We believe that this expanded interpretation will enrich the dialogue and extend the appeal of the program as it takes into account multiple perspectives of the individual and community, secular and faith-based, historical and contemporary and the interpersonal and political.
