Fairness is a word we may often hear and use, but fairness is a complex idea. This presentation will explore the concept of fairness and make the connection of applying fairness from an idea into action.
Our presenter: Carla Britten, Ombudsperson
Before becoming the Ombudsperson, Carla worked at Dalhousie in the Student Accessibility Centre and on the Residence Life Team. Her educational background is in Social Work, and she is a proud graduate of Dalhousie’s Masters of Social Work program. In working from the Ombudsperson Office, her approach is to listen, understand, and support. She provides free, confidential support to Dalhousie students and faculty/staff by helping solve concerns and complaints as situations arise.
The Ombudsperson Office recognizes that within Dalhousie there are different levels of power and privilege between us that influence how we work with one another. The Ombudsperson is committed to educating the community and will endeavour to find ways to work together that recognize and challenge inequalities.
