Brandon University has released fact sheets guiding students, staff, and faculty on fighting “isms”—including ableism, ageism, racism, and sexism—in the university community. The sheets describe the steps to take when witnessing or experiencing isms from someone in a position of power, how to lodge a formal complaint, and how to reflect on ism accusations against oneself. “These conversations matter because students don’t leave these experiences at the classroom door,” explained BrandonU Centre for Applied Research and Education in Indigenous, Rural, and Remote Settings Director Dr Gustavo Moura. “Whether in labs, healthcare placements, schools, or community settings, we have a responsibility to support students as whole people and to value the traditions, histories, and identities they bring with them.”
