This event is a continuation of the ACAM Dialogues: Mental Health in Asian Canadian Communities, which opened this year with an Oct. 16 discussion around racism in academia. While the Dialogues centres the experiences of students of colour, with particular focus towards students of Asian Canadian communities, we invite all to attend (including staff and faculty), while being mindful of what it means to engage in a space of respectful and conscientious dialogue.
This project is generously supported by the Equity Enhancement Fund by the UBC Equity & Inclusion Office.
