ABOUT THIS EVENT
Relearning Gender
How to Support More Inclusive Spaces for 2S/LGBTQ+ Students and Employees
Collaboration in the new world of work requires heightened awareness and learning about equity, diversity, and inclusion — including gender diversity. Join Diversity Circles for this session facilitated by our long time former BCITSA colleague, Trina Prince, now Manager of Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Learn meaningful actions you can take on a daily basis, including acknowledging someone’s pronouns. Understand the basics of gender identity, terminology, and concepts to actively support more inclusive spaces for 2S/LGBTQ+ students and employees.

Expectations for Behaviour
Diversity Circles, in cooperation with the BCIT Respect, Diversity, and Inclusion (RDI) Office, has a document outlined the Expectations for Behaviour for our events and initiatives.
Diversity Circles has always benefitted from the empathy, sincerity, and respectful curiosity of our community, and this has helped create events and initiatives where we hold productive and authentic discussions, advancing our knowledge and utilization of equity, diversity, and inclusion principles.
As our events and initiatives continue to reach out to diverse audiences which include BCIT employees, students, and partners (BCIT Student Association, BCIT Alumni Association, and industry guests), and as we have moved towards presenting events both in person and via teleconferencing platforms, we realize that having a set of expectations for behaviour will help maintain the accountable, respectful spaces our community has come to expect from Diversity Circles events and initiatives.
Please take the time to review our Expectations for Behaviour prior to your upcoming participation.
