Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) aren’t milestones — they’re the fundamental components required to create a welcoming and inclusive workplace at UBC. It is hard work that takes active, intentional, and ongoing learning (and unlearning). Consider taking UBC’s The Positive Space: Foundations course to enhance your awareness.
Positive Space: Foundations course is your resource hub for promoting and practicing inclusivity towards sexual and gender diversity.
Learn about amatonormativity, what to do if you misgender a friend, and how you can engage in respectful interactions related to names, pronouns and inclusive language.
