SIMSA would like to direct students’ attention to two new additions to our website. First, on the homepage of the SIMSA website in the “About SIMSA” section, readers will find a Digital Land Acknowledgement, inspired by Data & Society. Additionally, on the “About SIMSA” drop-down tab, SIMSA’s official EDIA Policy can be found between “Positions” and “Social Media Policy”.
These additions are part of ongoing efforts to embed EDIA policies, language, and considerations in all of SIMSA’s programming, events, and official records to work towards prioritizing equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, anti-racism, and decolonization in our organization.
Please get in touch if you have any suggestions, questions, or wish to discuss these additions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with SIMSA at simsa@dal.ca.
