Abstract

Our 2017 CWCA conference took place on Canada’s 150th anniversary, and these two themes threaded through the conference, connecting with other discussions about our students’ diverse identities and histories that they bring to tutoring sessions in their languages, their stories, and their imagined future-selves. UBC’s apology states that all universities bear responsibility for remaining silent in the face of injustice against and exclusion of Indigenous people. This serves as a critical reminder that, as faculty and staff of universities and colleges, we are always responsible for speaking out and for working towards equity and social justice in our work.
