Description

Echoes from the Margins: Voices Reshaping Higher Education is a podcast developed by, and for, educators and learners looking to incorporate principles of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Decolonization, and Accessibility (EDIDA) into their classroom, lab, and professional spaces. As we respond to an ever-changing postsecondary landscape, it is crucial that learners and educators alike feel represented and supported on and beyond campus. This podcast serves as a Community of Practice to amplify current initiatives promoting a sense of belonging and inclusion within education. Tune in to each episode to learn more about educators, researchers, students, and leaders who have reshaped curriculum development and student support. Beyond impact, you'll get a chance to hear thoughtful and honest conversations about teaching, learning, and navigating academic life. Co-hosted by Dr. Oana Birceanu, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology in the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry and Preetama Badyal, a MSc graduate from the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. Supported by Schulich Educational Media Technology Services (ETMS). Funding for the podcast has been provided by Western University BrainsCAN and it is part of a project titled "Rethinking Representation: Tools to Address Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization (EDI-D) Barriers in Undergraduate and Graduate Education".
