Advancing justice in education and society through social awareness, institutional literacy, and civic responsibility.

We Believe

that justice in schooling is fundamental to achieving a just and equitable society. Such a society requires citizens who are socially aware of the plight and privileges of themselves and others, who understand how institutions shape our relationships and responsibilities, and who are civically engaged in taking action to foster the well being of all people.

Land Acknowledgement

The work of the Cassidy Centre for Educational Justice takes place on the occupied and unceded, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), q̓íc̓əy̓ (Katzie), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), Qayqayt, Kwantlen, Semiahmoo, and Tsawwassen peoples. We are thankful and aspire to live and work respectfully on these lands. We commit to continuously recalibrating and aligning our Centre’s activities to not only name and acknowledge the historical acts of colonialism and their resulting legacies on our Indigenous students, staff, colleagues, and research partners, but to work in relationship with the land, Indigenous peoples, and others towards ultimately dismantling those legacies and nurturing a more just and equitable society that includes and works for the benefit of all.
