Overview
Prof David J Hornsby, Carleton University, Canada
Details
Universities have a responsibility to foster a more just society. As institutions for the public good, universities function for the good of society – shaping knowledge, the economy, the environment, society more broadly, as well as fostering the whole person. Treating this responsibility seriously requires real intention in making our pedagogical practices and experiences supportive of social transformation. This keynote will explore the power and possibilities of adopting socially-just pedagogies and living up to the important calls for universities that treat equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility and reconciliation seriously.
