About the EDI S peaker Series
The School of Journalism\, Writing and Media ( JWAM) at UBC on the Musqueam land brings together a range of innovative app roaches to the practice and teaching of journalistic and academic writing a nd other forms of communication. JWAM’s journalism and writing courses reac h several thousand students from across the university each year. The resea rch-informed pedagogy of the JWAM team has included the continued developme nt of our teaching\, for instance\, writing and issues related to decoloniz ation\, race\, Indigeneity\, trans identities and disability. As we continu e our work in these areas\, we recognize there are gaps in the diversity of our fields as well as the inclusivity of our research and teaching practic es. The Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion speaker series is a part of an o ngoing effort to address these gaps and aims to further the conversation on EDI and the teaching of writing.
