Scarborough National Charter
The Scarborough National Charter on anti-Black racism and Black Inclusion is a commitment by institutions across Canada to redressing anti-Black racism and foster Black inclusion in higher education. The Charter was a co-creation process involving close collaboration with academic institutions, governments, Black political and civic leaders across Canada to recognize the realities of anti-Black racism and develop concrete steps for action in advancing equity and inclusion.
Taking Action Against Anti-Black Racism
Universities have a major role to play in responding to anti-Black racism, systemic racism, and racial violence. Universities also have a role to play in education, teaching and learning, and inclusive curriculum. The resources on these pages aim to disrupt a single story of the Black experience shaped by stereotypes and a deficit narrative. Instead, it highlights the diversity of the Black population in Alberta and Canada through stories, statistical profiles, books, films, as well as specific actions we can engage in to educate ourselves and to advance racial justice.
