Dear EDST Community,
You are invited to join us for the upcoming Educational Administration and Leadership (EDAL) public presentations of the culminating Master’s research papers. This work is a collaboration of the UBC-VSB-Richmond School District Cohort focused on the theme: Inquiry, capacity building and leadership for Indigeneity, equity and inclusion.
As part of EDAL program’s on-going efforts to engage in meaningful connections with school communities, many of the final EDAL M.Ed. public presentations are held in various Lower Mainland schools and school districts as a way to mobilize knowledge and activism beyond the university. These presentations will include scholars and practitioners as paper discussants and will engage staffs, district and community members in the post-presentation discussion about important educational and leadership initiatives to move the work forward. The final research for the 2025 capstone projects with be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Leadership in Learning
(IJLL) titled: Inquiry, capacity building and leadership for Indigeneity, anti-racism and anti-oppression.
For specific accessibility needs or if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact Hartej.gill@ubc.ca
Light refreshments will be served
We look forward to your participation. All welcome! Shukria,
Hartej
