The DEDI Standing Committee amplifies, co-ordinates and facilitates the efforts of AMPD faculty, staff and students toward a culture of Decolonizing, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion across the disciplines of the School. The Committee’s work proceeds along three tracks.
A forum to raise concerns regarding DEDI within AMPD and receive guidance and resources.
Support and coordination for DEDI initiatives across York and within various creative communities to which our faculty and students contribute.
Cultivation and advancement of opportunities to support DEDI initiatives and priorities within AMPD.
