Equity
As part of UAS’ commitment to equity and cultural safety, CELT strives to help faculty “incorporate decolonized histories, values, and perspectives in our curriculum, and to protect the cultural safety of members of our campus community.”* To learn more about relevant strategies and approaches, check out the resources below, attend a CELT workshop, and/or contact CELT staff for one-on-one guidance and support.
