Elevating Black Design Voices: A Conversation with OCAD University Design Faculty Members

March 11, 2021

Free Online Panel Discussion



In August 2020, the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD) hired five Black tenure-track faculty members through a cluster hiring initiative to help diversify the department and the university. Please join us as four of those faculty members and a student discuss the historical importance of this hiring, what it means to their students and how community and storytelling are paramount.

This free event is open to everyone, but registration is required. Custom link provided after registration.

If you can't attend, you can still register and watch on demand.
