Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Decolonization at the School of Creative and Performing Arts
April 1, 2021
The events of 25 May 2020 were the catalyst for an unprecedented international mobilization focussed on urgent issues of racism and discrimination. While the death of George Floyd galvanized a global sense of outrage, it also served to highlight a necessity for change that has a long, complex and deeply troubling history. To face and address these dynamics, we are currently working on a range of initiatives with the objectives of community consultation, self-education, and concrete short-, medium- and long-term action.
Help is Available
Do you need to report an instance of discrimination and/or harassment? A range of safe and effective options are available.
