Graduate students from equity deserving groups enrich our educational environment tremendously through their outstanding scholarship, unique perspectives, knowledge traditions, and lived experiences. We celebrate these strengths and recognize diversity of perspectives as central to supporting academic excellence. We are aware of the systemic barriers and challenges that these communities have faced, and recognize it is an on-going issue. In our role at UBC, we are working to improve the experience of graduate students and dismantle systems of colonialism, classism and economic inequality.</p> <h5>Diversity, equity, & inclusion definition</h5> <p>We hear a lot about the terms <em>equity</em>, <em>diversity</em> and <em>inclusion</em>.

This proposal is motivated by the recognition that Black Canadians and Canadians of colour face systemic barriers in contemporary society and that they may not be represented proportionately at all levels of society including graduate education. Our goal is to attempt to imagine awards that will mitigate against the specific impacts of hurdles that students have faced in the past and to increase their representation.</p> <p>We consulted with racialized graduate students to hear their experiences and challenges at UBC. One of biggest challenges being reported is the experience of arriving in Canada from societies where students may have not experienced racialization, and the toll this takes on them even though they may not have faced personal barriers based on racialization in home countries. Yet, our proposal is aimed at addressing systemic racism and its impacts in Canada. This challenge is exacerbated by the prevailing sense among international students that there is little funding available to them, even though almost all of the UBC-budget derived funding to graduate students is open to domestic as well as international students, even when some of the incentives in the funding systems align with federal funding and thus offer a slight edge to Canadian students.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel-separator"></div><div class="panel-pane pane-fieldable-panels-pane pane-fpid-92 pane-bundle-fieldable-panels-pane" > <div
