SUMMARY:Gender\, Race\, Indigeneity\, and Careers in Higher Education: What Counts as Progress?
DESCRIPTION:Regarding equity\, diversity\, inclusion\, and Indigeneity (EDII)\, we often hear many statements\, but we rarely see concrete figures. Goals are articulated\, yet specific benchmarks remain unspoken\, and data collection efforts are sporadic at best. This is especially true for administrators\, who occupy the upper levels of the Canadian post-secondary career hierarchy. Without clear objectives or measurable outcomes\, progress is measured solely by effort—but is that truly enough?  \nHosted by the Centre for the Study of Canadian & International Higher Education\, Eric Lavigne\, Assistant Professor in Higher Education Administration and Leadership at OISE\, will delve into the strategies researchers have used to navigate the lack of data and analyzes the incomplete picture these scattered insights create.  \nZoom links will be shared with registrants 1 day in advance of the session. \nRegister for the session webinar here
