The Faculty of Education’s Committee on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (CEDI) is proud to announce the CEDI Conference 2022 on the theme of fighting homophobia and transphobia in the K-12 classroom. This conference aimed to provide all educators in Ottawa the opportunity to critically engage with and reflect on the ways we can make our classrooms and schools a more inclusive space for 2SLGBTQIA+ students.
On March 1st, award-winning Black feminist Debbie Owusu-Akyeeah launched the conference with the keynote address ‘Not Far from the Classroom: Resisting White Supremacist Rhetoric in Canada and its Impact on School Communities.’
The following sessions were presented by doctoral candidate and EducLang member Robert Grant and educator and community activist Summeiya Yehya Khamissa.
Congratulations Rob on presenting at a successful conference!
