Description

This study, conducted through the lens of two Asian and African Canadian students and their lived experiences, examines four institutions, the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto, McGill University, Western University, and the ways in which each addresses Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Decolonization (EDI-D). Accessing public documents such as syllabi, course descriptions, event calendars, published articles, strategic plans, released statements from students and faculty, and their online social media platforms, data was analyzed using qualitative document analysis (Altheide, Coyle, DeVriese, & Schneider, 2008). Overall themes were uncovered and examined (Cousins & Bourgeois, 2014; Khan & VanWynsberghe, 2008) including curricular change, methods of transparency, representation, and cultures of institutions. With the use of suggestions and guiding questions the researchers interrogate their findings and provide a way forward for anyone interested in EDI-D work. The following research question guided the research: 1) In what ways are institutions indigenizing their spaces and implementing anti-racist policies?

Four Canadian Faculties of Music: A Preliminary Investigation into Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and De-colonization in Post Secondary Education

This study, conducted through the lens of two Asian and African Canadian students and their lived experiences, examines four institutions, the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto, McGill University, Western University, and the ways in which each addresses Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Decolonization (EDI-D).
