Session Description:
This webinar seeks to provoke conversations about how to activate equity, diversity, and inclusion in research practices in ways that are beneficial to participants and their wider communities. Through practical examination of research situations, Tanya hopes to challenge participants to respond to systemic barriers in their work, self-interrogate practices, and reimagine data collection in multimodal and multiliterate ways that privilege under-represented voices.
Facilitator:
Dr. Tanya Manning-Lewis (she/her) is an assistant teaching professor at 
Thompson Rivers University. She has served the education sector for over 19 years as a secondary school teacher, community-engaged researcher, teacher educator, and advocate for racialized, marginalized, non-binary, and low-income youths and their families in local, multicultural, and international contexts. Tanya is a social justice educator whose practice is grounded in compassion and ethics of care. She is continuously learning and looking for more pathways to critically and authentically engage educators in a deeper understanding of the intersectionalities of race, gender, and class in education. Her research interests include equity, diversity, and inclusion in schools; gender, marginality, and the Caribbean identity; multiliterate and multimodal research forms; qualitative research methods; English language and English as a second language learners’ success in English classrooms; and women in higher education.
