Launch of the OADE Commitment to Anti-Black Racism Education and Black Inclusion in Ontario Higher Education

The Ontario Association of Deans of Education (OADE) is committed to defending and promoting equity and human rights in, and through, education for all members of Ontario society and to promoting learning, change and dialogue to dismantle anti-Black racist structures across the education sector.
 
OADE is pleased to announce the launch of its Commitment to Anti-Black Racism Education and Black Inclusion in Ontario Higher Education. OADE commits to more substantive, timely, and tangible actions to redress anti-Black racism and to foster Black scholarship, research, teaching, and learning within Faculties of Education. This work is guided by the Scarborough Charter on Anti-Black Racism and Black Inclusion in Canadian Higher Education's four overarching principles of Black flourishing, inclusive excellence, mutuality, and accountability.
 
We call on all educators, students, and community partners to commit to address anti-Black racism in all of its forms and to learn, reflect and celebrate Black history and excellence all year round.
