--------------------------------


I am working with Cathy Cappon and ODESI (Office of Diversity, Equity and Sustainability Initiatives) on a federally funded project entitled Innovating for Inclusive and Equitable Post-Secondary Education: A Pathway to Realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).



The project is led by Eviance, our community collaborators include: the Council of Canadians with Disabilities, National Educational Association of Disabled Students, ARCH Disability Law Centre, Ryerson University, and St. Francis Xavier University.



We are seeking two research assistants to work with us on research relating to designing a roadmap for transformative organizational change by developing a human rights-based framework that can be applied across the post-secondary sector to address the persistent and ever-present educational barriers experienced by students with disabilities.



I am reaching out to you to see if there are any of your students that would have an interest in this type of work and collaborating as research assistants on this exciting project. We welcome your recommendations.



Please see the description of the project and required responsibilities at the following link: https://tre.tbe.taleo.net/tre01/ats/careers/v2/viewRequisition?org=OCADU&cws=37&rid=2214<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftre.tbe.taleo.net%2Ftre01%2Fats%2Fcareers%2Fv2%2FviewRequisition%3Forg%3DOCADU%26cws%3D37%26rid%3D2214&data=04%7C01%7Cvho%40ocadu.ca%7Cfc504471074e4c56e29408d9c0e594d9%7C06e469d12d2a468fae9b7df0968eb6d7%7C0%7C0%7C637752914534555994%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=OdCoI16VnjhkQpqTSxYE%2B7HiMfuY4FfAp3nDL6petuc%3D&reserved=0>
