Goldman, A. S., MacKay, G., Lowes, V. L., Henville, L., Gillies, J., Jairam-Persaud, C., Soikie, S., Koffi, N. J. M., Shah, N., Walchli, J. (pending publication). Applying principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, and access in work-integrated learning. In K. Zegwaard & J. Pretti (Eds.), International Handbook for Work-Integrated Learning (3rd ed.). Routledge.
The content was created following an extensive review of the literature on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Access (EDIA) as it relates to experiential learning (EL), one-on-one or group interviews with 11 EL practitioners from all three U of T campuses (including instructors, faculty and staff), student input through a survey which received 121 responses, as well as consultation with EL practitioners from across Canada. The document was also reviewed by an additional 17 EL practitioners and colleagues working in the field of EDIA and student services across the University of Toronto. Special thanks to Bharat Saini, Director, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Faculty of Arts & Science, for his guidance and comprehensive review.
