February is Black History Month. While we should celebrate Black history and excellence every day, this is an opportunity for a focused, intentional and elevated reflection and recognition of Black history and achievement – and the many historical and contemporary contributions of Black Canadians, Black British Columbians and Black students, faculty and staff at UBC.
Event: Black Lives, Black Voices and Black Identities in the Faculty of Medicine
To commemorate Black History Month, the Office of Respectful Environments, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion invites you to join a panel event on Friday, February 17, 2023 from 12–1:30 pm.
The panel will provide a space for an important conversation about the experiences of Black members of the Faculty and the challenges they face to find belonging. Panelists will be invited to reflect on their Black identity and how it has shaped their personal narrative — their education journey, work experiences and sense of belonging.
