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.
