Equity Champion Training for Search Committees: Advancing Inclusive Excellence in Faculty Recruitment

This scenario-based workshop is designed for faculty members in search committees at the University of Guelph. Through case studies and facilitated discussion, participants will deepen their understanding of how to embed Indigenization, equity, diversity, and inclusion (IEDI) principles into each stage of the hiring process.

Rooted in both legal frameworks and ethical imperatives, the session explores how systems of oppression shape academic pathways and candidate experiences, and equips participants with the tools to lead equitable, bias-aware hiring processes. Participants will reflect on their own social positionality, develop strategies to coach committee members, and learn how to evaluate academic contributions and career trajectories using inclusive, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive approaches.
