HUB Student Projects

Merging Community

& THE ACADEMY

About our Student-Led Social Justice Projects

The Decolonial Perspectives & Practices Hub challenges oppressive systems and promotes decolonial principles. We create projects that highlight the experience of our community members and can be translated into meaningful educational tools to promote cultural understanding and solidarity.

Elder Oral History

In collaboration with WIBCA

The Decolonial Hub has partnered with the West Island Black Community Association to create a video capsule on Black Canadian resilience from the stories of the founding elders of WIBCA. The video capsule showcases how we can learn about black resilience, hope and community building from the founding elders and how the black youth continue their legacy.

Youth Power Lunches

In collaboration with Hoodstock

At our Youth Power Lunches, we invite Francophone Black and Brown artists and entrepreneurs to showcase their career tips and talents to youth at secondary schools in Montreal, Nord. Our interactive events introduce disadvantaged youth to career, education and self-empowerment possibilities. We intend to continue bridging the gap between the academy and the community and breaking the barriers that impede underserved student success.

Anti-Racism Pedagogy Project

Students from marginalized communities created a video library and course guides to help educators incorporate anti-racism frameworks, strategies, and practices in their classrooms. The platform is a video library that showcases pre-recorded talks by local community activists, students, and educators in Montreal and Canada and transforms them into anti-racism educational resources.

Syllabus Deconstruction

Our syllabus deconstruction events provide a supportive platform for university community members to gather, unlearn, and reconstruct syllabi by recognizing and deconstructing oppressive narratives. Our events facilitate dialogue among faculty, students, and administrators to challenge the status quo and create anti-oppressive academic environments.
