Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Educator Experience, we sit down with Dr. Treena Orchard—anthropologist, activist, and author of Sticky, Sexy, Sad—to explore why Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) must be more than a checkbox. A leader in creating transformative curricula at Western University’s School of Health Studies, Treena shares how educators can integrate EDI into their classrooms in meaningful, lasting ways.From rethinking course content and resource lists to engaging students as co-creators in inclusive learning spaces, Treena challenges us to ask: What kind of scholar—and teacher—am I? Listen in for real talk around how we can create true culture change through integration of EDI at every level. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kbHByGamoQ4
