Learn about innovative research from UVic faculty, staff and students at the Provost’s Diversity Research Forum, Critical Conversations: Living Social Justice, taking place on campus on Jan. 23 and 24, 2012. Engage in critical conversations on gender, race, identity, ability, Indigenous knowledge, wellness, sexuality, international topics and more.

We are pleased to welcome special guest Her Honour Gwendolyn Point as the keynote speaker during the lunch session Tuesday, Jan. 24 in the Michele Pujol Room.

This year's program features dynamic panel presentations, including:

• Associate vice-presidents' forum: Social justice and the UVic Strategic Plan
• "Just" sustainability: Balancing environmental protection and human rights
• Pursuing social justice in institutional contexts
• Perspectives on Indigenous wellness
• Walking the talk: Navigating by narrative
• Learning without borders: Promoting social justice through the internationalization of teaching

The forum will wrap up with a special Open Space session facilitated by the Department of Theatre's Will Weigler, Making connections: What critical connections do you want to have?

Registration is free and includes deliciously diverse meals, and all rooms are accessible. Everyone is welcome: faculty, staff, students and community members. Register soon as space is limited!
