We feature <strong>three speakers<\/strong> each academic year, and we have implemented <strong>a graduate student spotlight, <\/strong>where they share their research in a 3-minute presentation and introduce keynote speakers. We are dedicated to make this space for students and scholars from equity-deserving communities. We welcome suggestions and recommendations of speakers and student presenters whose research aligns with this initiative. If you are interested, please reach out to <strong>the Co-Chairs of the Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination Task Force: Dr. Corinne Field (<\/strong><a href=\"mailto:cf6d@virginia.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>cf6d@virginia.edu<\/strong><\/a><strong>) and Dr. Heun Lee (<\/strong><a href=\"mailto:heunjung.lee@ucalgary.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>heunjung.lee@ucalgary.ca<\/strong><\/a><strong>). <\/strong>Abstracts and recordings of past talks are available below.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This series is hosted in collaboration with the University of British Columbia&#8217;s Edwin S.H.
