About York’s DEDI in Teaching and Learning CoP

York’s Community of Practice (CoP) was started in the Fall of 2021 as a place for all who teach at York and are committed to supporting DEDI in their courses and beyond. The primary aim is to provide a space where we can engage in supportive, open, and critical conversations as we navigate the landscape of DEDI-driven pedagogical work.
