LGBTQ+ Related Resources & Tools for Humber College Faculty
In the final year of Luc's Community Development Degree, he conducted a mixed methods community research project to determine the ability of faculty at Humber College to ensure the inclusion of gender and sexual diversity within their classroom and curriculum for their students.
This involved stakeholder consultation, a survey of faculty and key informant interviews. Post-research collection, interpreting findings, analysis efforts, report writing, and a dissemination presentation to peers and faculty. To complete the project, the findings and recommendations were presented and discussed with leadership stakeholders.
