School of Social Work Assistant Professor, Bruce Wallace, received the 2018 Provost's Advocacy and Activism Award.
As we enter this new year, we are reflecting on 2017 and specifically a series of disturbing events targeting racialized groups on campus. These included the “white supremacy wall” incident, racist anti-Indigenous media posts and targeted racist events at the First Peoples House, and anti-Semitic posters. We are writing today to add our School’s voice to others across our campus who have made statements of solidarity and pledges of action against racism and white supremacy.
Plan to join us at the HSD Open House January 2018
All of us at the School of Social Work at UVIC want to extend our condolences to the families, friends, and lovers of those who died or were injured in the Orlando shooting. We stand against hatred and violence in solidarity with LGBTQ communities, particularly LGBTQQ2 communities of colour, and all those who are marginalized, vilified and targeted.
