UBCO will be bringing the discussion of racism in the workplace to the Okanagan next week.
The school is hosting lawyer, journalist and equity advocate Dr. Hadiya Roderique as part of its Distinguished Speaker Series next Tuesday night. The presentation will be done virtually, and it is free for anyone to watch.
Roderique will provide a discussion on racial inequities in the workplace. Addressing barriers and challenges, she will counter common arguments with informed data and strategies to help move society toward a true meritocracy.
Roderique holds a law degree, master’s degree in criminology and PhD in organizational behaviour and human resources management from the University of Toronto.
In 2018 she was named one of Canadian Lawyers’ 25 Most Influential Lawyers and was recognized with the Rising Star award from the Canadian Association of Black Lawyers.
