At the MacPherson Institute, we are committed to creating learning communities that emphasize respect, belonging, and student wellness by integrating equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility into all aspects of education. Our conference theme, Creating Belonging Through Inclusive and Accessible Learning Experiences, encourages the development of strategies that foster a sense of belonging and inclusivity, ensuring everyone feels valued and supported. We especially invite and welcome students to play an active role in this conference.

This fully virtual, two-day event aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas, experiences, and best practices among educators, researchers, administrators, students and other stakeholders. By utilizing a variety of formats including short papers, poster presentations, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, we will critically explore key considerations for implementing these strategies. This includes addressing diverse student needs, managing technology integration, adopting new policies, fostering student engagement, and promoting equity and accessibility in education.
