UBC’s RESPECT Magazine: Power of Place

This event is part of the 2023 Celebrate Learning Week, taking place from May 2–9, 2023.

This student panel will feature student editors and contributors to UBC’s RESPECT Magazine, which captures UBC students’ perceptions of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) through essays, interviews, multimodal, and interactive presentations. After an overview of the magazine’s history, goals, and aspirations, panelists will highlight inspirations and insights represented in the third issue, “Power of Place.” Individual contributors will share how they interrogated perceived notions of place through multimodal and diverse genres that reflect their interpretations of inclusive and equitable communities. The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
