HxCanada Fall Conference - Expanding Minds: The Power of Diverse Perspectives in Canadian Post-Secondary Education

This one-day conference explores how post-secondary institutions in Canada can engage students, researchers, and faculty members in a way that builds trust across a variety of perspectives—cultural, ideological, disciplinary, and experiential. We aim to examine how creating spaces for open, respectful conversations and meaningful dialogue can help to challenge assumptions, deepen empathy, and support academic and personal growth. Together, we will reflect on how institutions can cultivate environments where diverse voices feel heard, valued, and able to engage constructively across disagreement.

Conference programming will take place in-person at Simon Fraser University's Harbour Centre in Vancouver from 9:00am - 5:00 PM PST as well as livestreamed.

Conference registration for in-person programming will open by early August. In the meantime, add the event to your calendar to save the date!
