Shaping Inclusive Campuses: What is EDID?

Building Bridges

In this first Building Bridges podcast brought to you by King’s University College and Brescia University College, podcast hosts discuss what is EDID and how it has shaped our campuses. Special guests Lissette Ochoa, Coordinator of International Programs and Global Education, Preliminary Year Advisor, and Special Advisor to the President, Diversity and Inclusion from Brescia, and Jennifer Slay, Director of the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Decolonization at King’s, talk to their experiences and insight into institutional change through EDID, and how they play a part in the shift happening on campus. In the podcast, the students reflect on the way the institutional shift personally impacts students on campus, and they go over a few experiences where they could see EDID implementation taking place.

The podcast interviewers ask their guests what they think of the Anti-Racism Working Group, and discuss the accountability aspect. They highlight the role decolonizing the curriculum and changing policies plays in education and its institutions.
