Equity in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies (SKHS) is achieved by proactively taking collective responsibility for fostering safety, diversity, accessibility, inclusion and anti-racism in our teaching, research and practice.
Our programs in Kinesiology and Health Studies are highly interdisciplinary and center issues related to social justice in the contexts of health, sport and physical activity. In response to the current global calls for action to address anti-Black racism and colonial violence, we showcase work being done in the School to address race, racism and Indigeneity.
