Queer pedagogy challenges the structures and practices that have historically marginalized and subjugated both students and teachers who fall outside of heterosexual and cisgender identities. As part of the UWinPride Lunch & Learn Sessions, this workshop will explore the connections between critical pedagogy and queer theory, and how we can all use these lessons to create more inclusive and transformative learning environments.

What are the rights of an individual seeking an accommodation? What criteria do supervisors and employees need to consider?  Is there a process to be followed? What if a student needs an accommodation? Or an instructor? 

Join us in answering these important human rights questions about “accommodation.”   Learn about the process and the anchoring laws and policies, including the Human Rights Policy, and the ‘tests’ and criteria you need to know when seeking accommodation yourself or deciding whether an accommodation can be provided.

Please note: this workshop will focus on the Ontario Human Rights Code and its application in post-secondary environments. Individual or specific cases and issues will not be discussed in this setting, but case studies, examples and broader policy issues will be covered, with time for Q&A.

The workshop will cover the following four topics plus case studies:

• Why accommodations matter in education and employment
• The duty to accommodate and principles – including what it is, and what it is not
• Managing competing rights – tools and strategy
• Universal Design
• Case studies including accommodation for reasons including religion, disability, family status (child care, elder care)
