Vectors for Change Lecture – EDI or Bust

In this lecture, Dr. Manjeet Birk will share insights from her most recent research project, “EDI or Bust: Are university equity, diversity and inclusion policies working?” She will discuss some of the pedagogical innovations she has developed, as well as the systemic and institutional obstacles that make it challenging to build genuinely inclusive classrooms.
