Musings on the US Presidential Election Results – now what?

November 4, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

It’s a bright new day…or is it? Although I haven’t looked at the specific details, Trump has won the US election and will be in office for 4 more years. What now? In some ways I feel like I could re-post the blog I wrote when he was elected the last time. But the world is not the same as 4 … [Continue reading] Musings on the US Presidential Election Results – now what?

COVID-19, School, and Marginalization

August 5, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

It’s August and for those of us with children, it’s the time we start thinking about “back to school”. This year, “back to school” isn’t the same; it comes with many more concerns and questions than usual. I imagine school boards and districts around the world are handling these in a … [Continue reading] COVID-19, School, and Marginalization

A Black History Month Insight

February 28, 2013 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Ah Black History Month.... I have just returned from a vacation in Barbados with my family. There is an election going on and one of the newspaper articles while we were there was about why there were no White people running this time. In contrast, on our first day back I was listening to G98 on … [Continue reading] A Black History Month Insight

The Politics of Labels

August 15, 2012 by Annemarie Shrouder 1 Comment

Earlier this week I had a conversation with a friend - about a conversation he had with someone who is new to Canada. It went something like this: "What is this "people of colour" business?" "Well, that's what we call people who are not white" (note: my friend is white, his friend, who is new to … [Continue reading] The Politics of Labels

The Questions People Ask

March 26, 2012 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I'm mulling over an experience I had last week. Maybe it's because I'm a workshop facilitator, and a teacher before that. Maybe it's because I was facilitating a workshop when it happened. Maybe it's because the workshop was on creating LGBTQ safe space. Whatever the reason, when one workshop … [Continue reading] The Questions People Ask

Faith @ Work II

November 22, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

One of the workshops I attended at the Nov. 9th Diversity@Work conference put on by Skills for Change was by Nadir Shirazi.

Supplier Diversity

September 27, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder 1 Comment

One aspect of diversity we are not talking much about in Canada is Supplier Diversity.

Gender Identity & Human Rights

September 23, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

We're lucky in Canada to have a Human Rights Code that recognizes the inherent right to fair and equitable treatment, regardless of who we are...well, almost. Gender Identity is still not specified as a prohibited ground for discrimination under the Code. Most of us probably haven't given this … [Continue reading] Gender Identity & Human Rights

After the UK Riots…

August 18, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

This past weekend I caught a brief story on CBC news about how UK Prime Minster David Cameron is considering assistance from New York Police Commissioner and Los Angeles police chief Bill Bratton to help address the violence that has shaken cities in England this month. Whether this partnership … [Continue reading] After the UK Riots…
