This workshop, facilitated by Madison Hill, Savannah Sloat, Brenda Lee, and Vivian Dayeh, introduces the philosophy behind Learning Circles: a practice rooted in respect, reciprocity, listening, and shared responsibility. Drawing on Indigenous pedagogies and community-based approaches to knowledge, Learning Circles create space for all voices, emphasize relationality, and encourage a more holistic understanding of teaching and learning.

Participants will be invited into experiential activities to better understand circle facilitation, reflect on how these practices can support student belonging, and consider ways to bring circle-based approaches into their own classrooms or communities. It’s also a chance to connect with others who care about culturally grounded, inclusive, and relational approaches to education.

Her talk draws on a decade-long 100s writing practice—100‑word autotheoretical vignettes that explore human and more-than-human relations. Through these poetic reflections, Dr. TallBear unsettles conventional binaries such as monogamy vs. nonmonogamy and human vs. nonhuman, reconceiving “promiscuity” as relational abundance rather than excess. Rooted in Dakota understandings of place and kinship, her work reimagines intimacy, connection, and the ethics of relating in a more‑than‑human world.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts are happening across campus—from mandatory trainings to public commitments. But many people still wonder: Is this work creating real change?

🎙️ In the opening episode of The Conversations We Need to Have, host Monique Chambers, Senior Training Specialist, brings her thoughtful, engaging facilitation style to a powerful conversation with Dr. Christopher Stuart Taylor, Associate Vice-President, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti‑Racism. Together, they explore the big questions:

• 🌱 What’s actually shifting?

• 🧭 Who is accountable?

• 🔄 How do we move beyond box-checking toward real cultural and systemic transformation?

  
  

Rooted in the University of Waterloo experience, this episode sets the tone for the series by acknowledging discomfort, fatigue, and skepticism around equity work—while still creating space for honest dialogue, learning, and meaningful impact.

In episode 4 of The Conversations We Need to Have, with host Monique Chambers, Senior Training Specialist from the Office of EDI-R, we reflect on how communication norms inside universities are often shaped by culture, history, and power rather than neutrality alone. From professionalism and tone to clarity, silence, and emotional expression, the conversation explores how expectations around communication can shape who feels heard, understood, and able to belong.

Featured guests, Dr. Frankie Condon and Dr. Kim Nguyen from the Faculty of Arts, invite listeners to consider what gets normalized in academic spaces and what it might look like to imagine communication differently in pursuit of more inclusive and equitable communities.

What could more equitable communication look like in our campus communities?
