This conference on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the Cultural Sector: The Role of Cultural Organizations aims to bring together researchers, artists, practitioners, and cultural workers interested in EDI in cultural environments throughout Canada.

The overall objective of this project is to foster communication between researchers and practitioners in order to generate new knowledge about and actions toward improving EDI in cultural settings, and specifically within cultural organizations. This dialogue is intended to provide cultural organizations with tools and to offer researchers a better understanding of experiences in the field. This compendium of experiences and research results will contribute to the development of new knowledge rooted in the practice of the target audiences.

The pan-Canadian virtual conference on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Cultural Environments: The Role of Cultural Organizations was made possible thanks to the initiative of Julie Bérubé, Professor at the Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO); Professors Jacques-Bernard Gauthier (UQO) and Vivek Venkatesh (Concordia University); the Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance (GVPTA) as well as many Canadian cultural and public organizations.
