Have you experienced racism, sexism or other discrimination related to your identity聽at Desautels? Are you concerned about campus culture for BIPOCs, women and other historically under-represented groups?

For example, this could look like:

• Low levels of diversity
• Experiences of 鈥渙thering鈥�
• Lack of cultural or identity-based sensitivity, whether unconscious or not
• Favouritism or bias in selection and evaluation processes among peers, in classrooms or for special opportunities and programs
• Course content and resources that fail to address diversity and inclusion issues, or reinforce existing systems of oppression
• Harassment, discrimination and microaggressions among students, or by instructors or administrators, that make you feel unwelcome, unable to be yourself, or otherwise unsafe.

Tell us your story and help bring about change!

Desautels students are invited to participate in focus groups to share their experiences and observations related to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) within the Faculty. All focus groups will be professionally facilitated by diversity and inclusion expert and member of the Desautels EDI Working Group, Dave D鈥橭yen (BA鈥�13).

The student focus groups are part of larger consultation and data collection processes to help us better understand the experiences of underrepresented groups at Desautels. Your contributions will inform future priority setting and actions aimed at educating our community and eliminating any systemic racism, discrimination and harassment that exists within our Faculty.

Most of the sessions are dedicated spaces for students who belong to equity-seeking groups to share their experiences safely. Please do not register if you are not a member of the group identified for that session. All BCom or Masters students can attend their respective open session focus groups.

Please register in advance to receive a Zoom invite

Focus groups will be cancelled or merged if registration is too low. Sessions will not be recorded although designated note-takers will ensure experiences and ideas are captured. If you are uncomfortable participating in a focus group with others, you are invited to reach out to the edi.mgmt [at] mcgill.ca (EDI team) directly.
