The Faculty of Education is committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive community. To support our mission of developing progressive, ethical, competent, and thoughtful leaders in education, and in response to the PICRDI and TRCTF Final Report, we established the Indigenization, Inclusion and Equity Series (IIE). This ongoing series aims to provide resources, training, and spaces to share ideas and concerns around these issues for students, faculty, and staff.
To recognize our community’s commitment and participation, after five IIE workshops or lectures students, staff, and faculty are eligible to receive a Certificate of Participation. Please email Rebecca Carnevale with any questions.
The IIE series is among many learning opportunities at Queen’s on these issues. The Office of Indigenous Initiatives has links to workshops and training offered by their office and human resources; the Human Rights and Equity Office offers online and in-person training, and the Centre for Teaching and Learning offers further resources and training on Indigenizing and decolonizing education. We encourage all our community members to take part in these opportunities. Staff, faculty, and students working towards an IIE Certificate of Participation can count two activities offered at Queen’s (but outside of the Faculty of Education IIE program) towards their IIE participation. Please send confirmation of participation to Rebecca Carnevale by email.
Join the Teacher Candidates of Colour and the Indigeneity, Equity, and Inclusion Lecture Series for a conversation with Dr. Cheryl Thompson.

How can literature and art help us understand each other’s inner worlds? This workshop will explore close reading as a way of empathetically imagining the complex, intersectional identities of others. We will unpack various literary and art pieces including Scarborough by Catherine Hernandez. We will also create a collaborative art piece that will be displayed in Duncan MacArthur Hall. Free copies of Scarborough will be available for Queen’s students. This workshop is part of the Queen’s Reads program and the Faculty of Education’s Indigeneity, Inclusion, and Equity Series. Students, staff, and faculty are eligible to receive a Certificate of Participation after attending five IIE workshops/lectures.

In this panel presentation, three scholars will draw on research to share their perspectives on inclusivity in today’s classrooms. With a focus on reconceptualizing disability, exploring the role and profession of special education in schools, and considering the value of linguistic and cultural diversity within learning contexts, this panel will present research and practices that will help you better understand inclusivity as a fundamental principle of contemporary education. This event is part of the Indigeneity, Inclusion, and Equity Series (IIE). After five IIE workshops or lectures students, staff, and faculty are eligible to receive a Certificate of Participation.
