Sanibonani (Welcome)!
To our ancestors, to our elders, to our parents, to our sisters and brothers, to those yet unborn, and to all of creation, Sanibonani.
In 2023, Toronto Metropolitan University launched the Black Scholarship Institute (BSI), another significant step towards combating anti-Black racism and promoting Black flourishing among Black faculty, students, staff, and the wider Black communities.
The BSI is a university-wide initiative dedicated to cultivating the conditions needed for Black scholarship and the Afro-Diasporic worldview to flourish, be embraced, and be celebrated.
The BSI intends to, among other things, harness the power of interdisciplinary collaborations, community partnerships, and engagement with diverse stakeholders to foster innovative research, teaching, and advocacy to uplift Black communities.
