A message from Santa J. Ono, President and Vice-Chancellor
I am pleased to invite all our students, faculty and staff to participate in UBC’s National Forum on Anti-Asian Racism — a two-day virtual event on June 10 and 11, 2021, to address the ongoing crisis of escalating anti-Asian racism in Canada.
We are convening a diverse group of people to support a robust national conversation about this ongoing crisis, including community organizers, scholars, and public intellectuals, along with key figures in government, health care, media, journalism, the private and not-for-profit sectors.
This national forum will include open discussions about anti-Asian racism in our country with the aim of articulating bold and concrete recommendations for action. We will also discuss anti-Asian racism within the broader context of racism against Indigenous, Black and other racialized communities.
