Educational resources

In collaboration with faculty, staff, and students, we utilize values-driven and evidence-informed approaches to engage, educate and empower a diverse community of learners to promote equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility on campus.

Through these efforts, we share in a collective responsibility to create a learning community that enables all its members to build capacity to make transformative institutional and societal impacts.

Education advisor

The Education Advisor is a specialist resource who is responsible for overseeing the coordination and delivery of campus-wide initiatives related to educational programming for all areas of work covered by the Office for Equity and Inclusion, including Human Rights and Equity Services. The Advisor is responsible for:

  • Developing educational content
  • Facilitating information sessions, workshops and trainings
  • Providing proactive and remedial support
  • Coordinating events and campaigns
  • Co-creating departmental strategies
  • Co-chairing the IDEIA Education Collective and Sexualized Violence Prevention Resource Group

In an effort to curate EDIA-related learning opportunities that are relevant, accessible, engaging and inspiring, the Advisor offers one-on-one consultation with organizers to inform learning options. 

The Education Advisor also collaborates with partners across the university community, including: Human Rights & Equity Services, Center for Learning and Teaching, Human Resources, Student Affairs and more! 

Anti-Racism 101 Module  

The asynchronous Anti-Racism Module (login required) provides a foundational overview of the ways in which anti-racism manifests within us, on our campuses, and in our communities. It explores concepts such as microaggressions, unconscious bias, Anti-Black and Anti-Indigenous racism, accountability, and more. The workshop provides avenues of learning but most importantly implores as all to commit to changing our behaviours, attitudes, and actions today. 

Dalhousie faculty, staff, and students can register and access the module via Brightspace; once registered, the module will appear in your Courses. Please let us know if you have any questions or difficulty accessing the material by emailing HRES@dal.ca.

Multifaith calendar

In addition to the below calendar, days of acknowledgement, awareness, and action, Dalhousie has purchased a subscription to an online Multifaith Calendar. This new resource will provide our community with a robust and interactive calendar, highlighting the range of important religious and cultural observations that recognizes and celebrates the diversity of faiths and cultural observances celebrated within the University.

Looking for Multifaith supports and services? Dalhousie's Multifaith Services offers an open door to all Dalhousie and King's students, staff, and faculty — no matter what their faith, philosophy, or doubt may be.

Days of acknowledgement, awareness, and action

Members within our community observe, reflect and celebrate a vast array of  important cultural and religious days of significance. This calendar is a non-exhaustive list of commemorative days, weeks and months that we have compiled for greater community acknowledgement, awareness and action.
