Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Office (EDIO) Curricula Enhancement Initiative 

Dalla Lana School of Public Health (DLSPH) aims to nurture academic excellence by understanding and responding to the root causes of inequity and exclusion. The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Office’s Curricula Enhancement Initiative aims to support DLSPH faculty in implementing EDI-related changes to curricula as informed by students, staff, faculty and external experts. The project team will build upon existing curricula, pedagogies and perspectives to ensure DLSPH graduates are prepared to work with diverse communities and apply EDI competencies within their work environments. Part of this work will involve participation in the Decolonizing Curriculum Faculty Fellows Program in collaboration with the Faculty of Information. This program aims to effect meaningful change by offering a catalyzing workshop series, supporting instructors in developing achievable goals for decolonizing their curricula, providing graduate student assistance, cultivating the next generation of faculty with an EDI lens, positioning participating instructors as leaders and sustaining efforts through the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Office within Dalla Lana School of Public Health.
