Critical Conversations III: International, Indigenous, Intersectional
Welcome to the third annual diversity research forum
There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.
- Audre Lorde
On behalf of the Diversity Conference Planning Committee, I would like to thank everyone - presenters, panelists, students, faculty, staff and community members - who joined us at this year’s forum. Video podcasts of the keynote addresses are now available below, and audio podcasts of the panel sessions will be posted soon.
I am already looking forward to being together in diversity with you again at next year's conference. Please contact me if you would like to be involved.

Adviser to the Provost on Equity and Diversity
