Students, faculty, and staff are invited to join the Office of the Vice-President, Equity and Community Inclusion (OVPECI) for this Dine and Discourse Lecture, with Professor Darren Lund.
Lund is an expert on equity and human rights issues, specializing in the area of white privilege in a Canadian context. A renown professor at the University of Calgary and regular keynote speaker who has presented at over 350 meetings and conferences, Lund will be featured in this lunchtime discussion with Denise O’Neil Green, Vice-President, Equity and Community Inclusion. Following this lively conversation, Lund will lead a workshop where participants will discuss whiteness, white privilege, and white supremacy in a Canadian context. At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to examine how some people operate in privilege and how we must all continue to disrupt dominant narratives in order to build a more inclusive community at Ryerson. Everyone is welcome. Please RSVP no later than November 7, 2018, if you intend to attend this lunch.
