EHHS 公平与社会正义 Initiatives
教育学院, 健康 and Human Sciences (EHHS) works toward excellence in innovative and scholarly engagement that cultivates justice, 股本, 多样性, and inclusion in our practice.
The members of the 教育学院, 健康 and Human Sciences community are committed to providing and nurturing an educational climate dedicated to 股本 and social justice. Our commitments to 股本 and social justice build on our college’s conceptual framework (Cultural proficiency, Assessment teaching and learning, Reflective scholarship and practice, and Engagement in community building and partnership) and extend its foundation by making explicit our commitment to improving the experiences and outcomes of those historically underserved and currently marginalized. As a land grant public institution of higher education, we recognize that integrating 多样性 and inclusion 实践 through an 股本 and social justice lens is essential to our core mission. Such 实践 help us transform our college to recognize and address injustice and inequalities in 实践 and 政策 that have disparate impacts on the lives of those we serve. Our beliefs align with the 365滚球官网 多样性 Plan (用户界面多样性计划), the UI Ubuntu 多样性 resolution (UI Ubuntu分辨率), and the UI Labor Acknowledgment (UI African American Labor Acknowledgment). Our commitment to 股本 and social justice requires an ongoing active and engaged participation to advocate for concrete institutional transformation, which is measured by material and ideological change.
价值观:
- Recognition of Indigenous heritage: We acknowledge that our institution stands on Indigenous homelands (Nimiipu, Schitsu 'umsh, Newe, 努木和克图那察族), that Indigenous peoples remain active stewards of their lands, and that we must recognize the violence of Indigenous land dispossession and actively work to counter Indigenous erasure from our college, 校园, 和地区.
- Respect of intersectionality: We value and honor the diverse intersectionality of our community and world (e.g.., 种族, 少数民族, 文化, 宗教, 语言, 性, 性别, 社会经济, 残疾, 和年龄).
- 公平的权力动态: We recognize that all relationships include dynamic power structures, and we are committed to changing systems, 组织结构, 政策, 实践, 和态度, so that power is redistributed and shared equitably.
- Cultivation of transformation: We acknowledge the transformative nature of education, 因此, we strive to utilize the strengths that UI students possess as assets in the classroom that contribute to reflective and engaged practice.
- Recognition of marginalization and commitment to systemic change: We understand that systemic 政策, 传统, and laws along with personal beliefs, experiences 和态度 impact equitable opportunity for all. 因此, we must actively work towards deconstructing the ways in which institutions perpetuate the oppression of all identities.
EHHS 股本 and social justice work is facilitated by the Justice, 股本, 多样性 and Inclusion Committee within the college. If you are interested in joining the working group, please contact Josh Bailey at joshuabailey@dotnetretail.com.
