Contribute to the awareness and understanding of EDI
Develop new and improved avenues for EDI practice in the workplace.
Support FED’s EDI Action Plan.

Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2026
Time: 1:00-3:45 p.m.
Location: 124 Leeds (Leeds House, 1st Floor)

Overview

In 2023, the Faculty of Engineering and Designed launched its inaugural EDI Action Plan, outlining nine key action areas to advance equity and inclusion across academic and professional engineering environments.

This interactive workshop is designed to support that work by enhancing inclusive and equity-driven practices across the Faculty.

The session will include a presentation by an experienced EDI practitioner, followed by a participatory component, creating space for small group discussion, shared learning and exchange between participants and the facilitator..

Speaker

With a background in biochemistry, our facilitator Dr. Imogen Coe has advised academia, government and industry on best practices and approaches to improve EDI in STEM, particularly in the Canadian post-secondary education (PSE) sector for over ten years.

She has written and spoken about these issues extensively for different platforms and has also given a TEDx talk on gender equity in science. For more information about Dr. Coe’s background and work, visit the speaker’s professional profile.
