Creating Gender Inclusive Learning & Work Environments on Campuses

Presentation description: Campuses are filled with spaces and services that gesture to one’s gender identity and expression.

She has experience as an educator, consultant, and student affairs practitioner and currently works with Wilfrid Laurier University’s, Centre for Student Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
