Hope and Healing: Equity and Transformational Justice in Higher Education

Drawing from his thirty years of experience in higher education, Andrew Williams will facilitate a discussion focused on the gap between conventional views on the value of diversity and equity on our college campuses and the lived experiences of BIPOC and other minoritized and marginalized student populations.

You will be asked to explore the common notions of colleges and universities as open, liberal, and tolerant places through a critical examination of past and present waves of student activism and engagement. The conversation aims to enhance students' capacity to map a path forward toward reconciliation, individual and collective healing, transformative justice, and the decolonization of higher education.
