The Office of EDI and Anti-Racism and the TRU Faculty Association invite you to join us for TRU’s annual EDI conference — unlearning silence, confronting racism and collectively building anti-racist institutions.
Date: Tuesday, May 5
Time: 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Location: TRU Kamloops, Campus Activity Centre, Grand Hall
This year’s focus on racism and anti-racism hopes to create a space for speakers, facilitators and attendees to name and confront racism in holistic and systemic ways. Throughout the day, participants will be asked to learn, share and build through guided, trauma-informed conversations, activities and an action-planning exercise.
We will look to initiatives such as the Scarborough Charter and the TRC Calls to Action as guiding lights as we discuss topics such as anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism and what it means to be an “anti-racist.”
Please join us for a day filled with networking, connecting, learning and listening, ending with some concrete action planning to take back to our institutions, departments, classrooms and community spaces.
