Applications are now open to join the 2024/2025 Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Scholars-in-Residence Program, an initiative by UBC Library and the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.
The EDI Scholars-in-Residence Program is open to individuals who hold degrees in any discipline and have an established record of research or activities related to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Residency at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre allows Scholars to participate in collaborative and interdisciplinary public programming with a clear impact on equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Residency takes place over two academic terms and includes full access to the scholarly resources of UBC Library, space in the Peña Room and an honorarium. Scholars selected for the program will offer a minimum of one public lecture during their time on campus, and will be available for one-on-one consultations with UBC faculty, staff, and students. Public lectures presented through the EDI Scholar-in-Residence program take place in the Antonio and Marissa Peña Learning and Events Room in IKBLC, with support from the Peña Fund.
Scholars may be nominated or apply directly by completing an online application. The deadline to apply is May 31, 2024 (12 p.m. PT).
