The office of Faculty Affairs (FA) oversees faculty affairs within the Faculty of Medicine. We are comprised of the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), the Faculty Wellness Program (FWP), and the Office of Professionalism (OP). The Assistant-Deans and Director of these offices report to the Vice-Dean Faculty Affairs who is the head of the FA. The FA oversees the clinical faculty appointment process, annual reviews, academic promotion as well as other academic issues and faculty relations. The number of requests for faculty appointment and promotion continues to increase, a healthy indicator of the faculty engagement with the University.

Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion:
EDI Seminar Series
Leaders of Colour in Multicultural Canada
Date:
May 22, 2025
Time:
12:00 鈥 1:00
Location:
Zoom
The Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion is pleased to welcome speaker Joseph Wong, Vice President, International, at the University of Toronto & Professor at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, who will present his seminar 鈥Leaders of Colour in Multicultural Canada鈥
This seminar will present his own personal experiences 鈥 from growing up in Brampton during the 1980s to becoming the sole leader of colour (at the time) in the UofT鈥檚 executive leadership group 鈥 Joseph Wong offers reflections on the leadership challenges and opportunities that come with being a racialized minority in multicultural Canada. In addition, he will recount insights he has gained through discussions with other senior leaders about their experiences. Professor Wong believes deeply that leaders of color and their impact must go beyond their 鈥榬epresentativeness鈥 at leadership tables. Leaders of color must use their voice to expand the discursive space within which progressive ideas may emerge.
The objective of this session will be:
- Identify approaches to contributing meaningfully to equity and inclusion efforts beyond symbolic representation.
- Analyze how focusing on cultural impact, rather than cultural 鈥榝it,鈥 can influence organizational dynamics and decision-making.
- Reflect on personal and collective experiences as tools to broaden conversations, challenge dominant perspectives, and foster innovative thinking in professional environments.
