Hakka House at Chinatown Plaza
Dr. Yao Xiao, EDST instructor, with Chinatown community friends, has created a small community space called Hakka House at Chinatown Plaza (103A-180 Keefer Street, Vancouver). The website is: www.hakkahouse.org . Their instagram is: ChinatownHakkaHouse .
Hakka House is a base for cultural grounding and community work, dedicated to independent voices and collaborative organizing. Chinatown and Downtown Eastside neighbourhoods are facing historical and ongoing colonialism, racism, gentrification, cultural erasure, gender-based oppression, intense policing, among many other struggles. Within that context of struggle, Hakka House seeks to contribute to a resilient community space for knowledge sharing and meeting among folks who are passionate about justice locally and transnationally.

Call For Research Participants
Is Culturally Responsive Leadership Culturally Responsive? A Critical Comparative Study between Canada and China
We are calling on current school principals, vice-principals, and teachers to participate in a research project about school administrators’ leadership in BC schools. This project looks at school leaders’ experiences, from school administrators’ and teachers’ perspectives, in engaging Indigenous education in the context of Truth and Reconciliation and exploring new ways of thinking about culturally responsive leadership in response to diversity in schools.
Why Should I Participate?
Your participation will contribute to a greater understanding of school leaders’ work and experience of engaging Indigenous education and gain insights into school leaders’ culturally responsive leadership in BC, Canada. The research results yielded from this project will be used to inform services and professional learning to better support you and your colleagues’ leadership and work in schools.
What does my participation involve?
The project involves approximately 40-60 minutes interview that is being conducted by Dr. Fei Wang or his research assistant from the Faculty of Education, the University of British Columbia (UBC). The information obtained in the interview will be kept in strict confidence. No individual information will be disclosed, only results from the analysis of aggregated data will be reported.
How Can I Participate?
The interview will be carried out online via zoom/any other platforms or in-person at a location that meets your convenience. If you’d like to participate in the interview, please contact Dr. Fei Wang at fei.wang@ubc.ca.
