Event Description


To truly dismantle racism, we need to understand it. How did we get to this point? What are the specific details of our history as a country that have led to this moment? This webinar will examine the history of racism and colonialism in Canada, providing a contextual understanding of the difference between individual racism and systemic racism, and provide the learner with the foundation on which to build their learning.

Speaker

Dr. Roselle Gonsalves

Director, Learning, Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion

Roselle Gonsalves is an immigrant settler to Canada, and comes to the CCDI with over 10 years of teaching experience, in a variety of different sectors, and in a diversity of formats including small group workshops and large classes. She is well-versed in curriculum and instructional design, and has spent the last few years in roles dedicated to the design and delivery of EDI programming, most recently in the post-secondary sector. Roselle has a deep appreciation for diversity in its many splendid forms: from religio-cultural expressions to variations in styles of learning.

After completing a master's degree at the University of Toronto in Sexual Diversity Studies and Religious Studies, Roselle earned a PhD at the University of Calgary in the study of transnational immigrant identity, Canadian multiculturalism, and intersectionality. Roselle approaches her work with a sense of humour, and a reflexive, intersectional, anti-oppression, anti-racism framework to allow for more inclusive ways of understanding the world. She believes passionately in equitable access to support and resources. In her spare time, Roselle is a novice curler, loves travel, and enjoys a good true crime podcast!
