Grants of up to $2,000 will support activities to foster learning and a deeper understanding of systems of anti-Black racism. The Anti-Black Racism Professional Development Grants are for faculty and staff at the University of Windsor pursuing educational enrichment.
They may be used for:
- self-learning activities in collaboration with a mentor, supervisor, or instructor;
- individual training to learn a skill or expand an area of competence relevant to one’s scope of practice;
- attendance at a conference for workshop;
- tuition for courses;
- guest speakers for academic or non-academic opportunities.
“As more conferences and workshops have resumed in-person participation, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of the many learning and engagement formats available throughout Canada and abroad,” says Marium Tolson-Murtty, director of anti-racism organizational change.
To give faculty and staff some ideas of the workshops and conferences available, she has provided a list of ideas that people may want to explore, adding “This is not an exhaustive list, so I encourage individuals to research the many offerings that are available to further their knowledge and enrichment on these important issues.”
