Governance Hack

The Unsettling University Governance Project

Governance Hack is a forum for dialogue curated by the Unsettling University Governance project. We’re an interdisciplinary team of minoritized faculty members with deep leadership experience. We work at Canadian public universities. We’re activist scholars who routinely trouble common sense understandings about university governance. This team brings bad attitudes and radical daydreams to the project of decolonizing the university as we know it. Here at Governance Hack, we’re committed to speak truth to power in the face of manifest inequalities and injustices on university campuses today. From the top down. And the inside out. The problem of how to decolonize university governance is a classic “wicked problem”. So let’s dig in, together. We are delighted you have joined the conversation at Governance Hack. Hosted on Acast.

    Governance Hack Episode #2 - The Unsettling University Governance Project

    Welcome to the second episode of Governance Hack. In this episode I, Handel Kashope Wright, Senior Advisor to the President on Anti-racism and Inclusive Excellence, Director of the Centre for Culture, Identity and Education, Professor of Education at the University of British Columbia and member of Unsettling Governance, speak about Black representation in the Canadian academy with Malinda Smith, Vice Provost of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Associate Vice President, Research at the University of Calgary and Wisdom Tettey, Vice President of the University of Toronto and Principal of University of Toronto, Scarborough. Who are Black academics in all our sociocultural diversity and our decided underrepresentation in the academy? What should we make of long-term Black agency and activism, including initiating (often precarious) Black Studies, being endorsed recently by institutional attempts at Black flourishing at Canadian institutions (efforts undermined by “anti-Black racism fatigue,” an aspect of a general “anti-racism fatigue”)? How and why is the almost paradoxical role of “Black senior administrator” undertaken and how is it perceived? (160) Resources: Ibrahim, A. Kitossa, T., Smith, M. & Wright, H.K. (2022). Nuances of     Blackness in the Canadian academy:  Teaching, learning, and          researching while Black. Toronto: University of Toronto Press.   The Scarborough Charter on anti-Black racism and Black inclusion in Canadian     higher education: Principles, actions and accountabilities       https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/scarborough-charter/     Hosted on Acast.
