In 2022, the Office of the Vice-President Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion held the inaugural UWindsor Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Decolonization (EDID) Week, with events exploring Indigenization, remembrance of the victims of transatlantic slavery, resistance and the Underground Railroad, accessibility awareness, sexual violence prevention, 2SLGBTQQIA+ rights, and the ways that historic and ongoing marginalizations intersect.
The second annual EDID Week, beginning March 20, 2023, continues this work, uplifting efforts to challenge oppression as well as acknowledging the ongoing and future work required toward building a more just campus, community, and world.
While anti-oppression and justice must be at the heart of everything we do at UWindsor, EDID Week provides an important opportunity to shine a spotlight on the diversity and strength of individuals and groups working to address injustice on campus and beyond. With over 12 events, both in-person and online, and featuring campus and local partners committed to advancing equity, 2023’s EDID Week is grounded in community and collaboration.
