‘I’m gay’: ³Ô¹ÏÍø researcher analyzes real-life recordings of ‘coming out’ conversations

If your child approaches you with a grim look on their face and says in a low tone of voice, “Mom, I have something to tell you,” you might assume that they have cancer or committed a crime. You would likely prepare yourself for bad news. If the “something” turns out to be “I’m gay,” the ominous delivery would frame that disclosure in a negative light. After analyzing hours of real-life recordings of “coming out” conversations, ³Ô¹ÏÍø researcher Jeffrey Aguinaldo confirms that this is the prototypical approach. 

³Ô¹ÏÍø appoints associate vice-president: equity, diversity and inclusion

Actions to recruit students, staff and faculty from underrepresented groups

The ³Ô¹ÏÍø Strategy sets the mission for the institution that is guided by two distinct strategic themes: thriving community and future-readiness. As part of the thriving community theme, ³Ô¹ÏÍø recognizes the importance of creating an inclusive community. ³Ô¹ÏÍø excels at creating a culture of engagement that develops the whole person and builds reciprocal community relationships by fostering a highly personalized, equitable, diverse and inclusive community in which all members can experience the powerful sense of belonging that has distinguished ³Ô¹ÏÍø throughout its history. The institution also seeks to integrate Indigenous knowledge and practices across the university.

By embracing the values of EDI, ³Ô¹ÏÍø will be better equipped to attract, retain and advance the kind of talented staff, students and faculty who will move the university forward in new and exciting ways. To enhance the diversity of our community, ³Ô¹ÏÍø has developed the following initiatives:

  • ³Ô¹ÏÍø has taken a step toward Indigenization, reconciliation and EDI by hiring six new Black faculty members and four new Indigenous faculty members through the Inclusive Excellence Initiative, with additional appointments of two Indigenous scholars in the coming years. These scholars will enhance research and teaching excellence at ³Ô¹ÏÍø and strengthen collaborative and interdisciplinary initiatives. The Inclusive Excellence initiative is part of ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s broader Faculty Rejuvenation efforts to advance strategic academic and research goals, enhance academic excellence and student experience, and strengthen collaborative and interdisciplinary initiatives.
  • As part of ³Ô¹ÏÍø's commitment to EDI, the Canada Research Chair (CRC) Program EDI Action Plan outlines how ³Ô¹ÏÍø intends to identify, prevent and remove barriers to inclusion for those who identify as women, having disabilities, racialized, Indigenous and part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community in the CRC Program. As part of this program, ³Ô¹ÏÍø must recruit and retain individuals who identify as women, having disabilities, racialized, Indigenous and part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to meet established targets.
  • ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Undergraduate Indigenous Admission Policy encourages recruitment of Indigenous students. If an Indigenous student’s admission average is below the minimum admission average required for a program (to a minimum of 70%), the student may be eligible for admission through ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Undergraduate Indigenous Admission Policy. To be considered for admission, they must provide a written personal statement outlining work experience, achievements, educational goals and why the student believes they will be successful in postsecondary studies.
  • ³Ô¹ÏÍø understands that many refugees coming to Canada have unique situations and varied educational backgrounds. It may be be difficult for refugees residing in Canada to meet program requirements or have access to their required documents for admission, but they may still be eligible to complete studies at ³Ô¹ÏÍø. The institution is committed to working with refugee applicants to help determine the best program that suits their academic goals. ³Ô¹ÏÍø's Refugee Policy is a unique option for protected persons to receive the opportunity for direct admission, including entrance scholarships and transfer credits.
  • ³Ô¹ÏÍø has partnered with World Education Services (WES) to offer the Gateway Program to displaced persons who do not have standard proof of their academic achievement due to adverse circumstances in their country of education. Through the Gateway Program, WES can reliably assess and validate the education of international applicants who have been displaced by political unrest, conflict or natural disasters, and who do not have complete, verified documents. As a partner with WES, ³Ô¹ÏÍø recognizes credential evaluation completed through the WES Gateway Program.
  • For over 40 years, the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) Student Refugee Program has combined resettlement with opportunities for higher education for student refugees. The WUSC program at ³Ô¹ÏÍø began in 1985, with the first refugee students arriving in 1991. Through the ³Ô¹ÏÍø WUSC Scholarship, refugee students receive support to cover tuition and living expenses for four years. The scholarship is funded by an $8 annual student levy, the Office of the President and the ³Ô¹ÏÍø Faculty Association. The WUSC student committee, which operates at ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Brantford and Waterloo campuses, provides peer support to help refugee students acclimate to their life and studies at ³Ô¹ÏÍø.
  • is a student-led and student-funded humanitarian initiative at ³Ô¹ÏÍø. This program responds to war's devastating impacts by providing full scholarships to students from conflict areas. It also educates ³Ô¹ÏÍø students about the impacts of international conflicts by promoting intercultural learning and globally engaged citizenship.
  • ³Ô¹ÏÍø is a member of the global . The Visiting Researcher - Scholars at Risk Program was established to support scholars who are facing threats to their life, liberty or academic career, and/or have been forced to leave their academic position because of such threats. The program is fully remote and will allow scholars to remotely re-engage with academia after being pushed outside the university environment. The Visiting Researcher - Scholars at Risk Program assists ³Ô¹ÏÍø faculty and students in creating and strengthening opportunities for research and collaborative engagement with scholars in areas of mutual interest. Scholars eligible for this program will have a Visiting Researcher appointment.
  • ³Ô¹ÏÍø is a signatory on the . By signing the charter, ³Ô¹ÏÍø committed itself to compile baseline data to gauge levels of (under)representation and provide demographics on Black faculty, staff and students, and to foster inclusive teaching and research, community engagement, and representative and inclusive governance practices.
  • ³Ô¹ÏÍø is committed to creating a culture of inclusion where all members feel accepted and can experience a powerful sense of belonging. The institution’s Human Resources Office engages in many actions to recruit staff and faculty from underrepresented groups. These include:
    • Partnership with the following groups:
      • Immigration Partnership
      • Coalition of Muslim Women
      • Nation Talk
      • Grand River Employment and Training (GREAT)
      • Six Nations and Mississaugas of the New Credit Employment Centre
      • Employment Ontario
      • The Working Centre
      • Lutherwood
      • YMCA Immigrant Service
  • The University Employment Equity Advisory Committee (UEEAC) is an ongoing advisory team comprised of employees interested in working on employment equity-related initiatives. The group identifies barriers to employment equity and provides support and feedback to administration on resource development and initiative planning.

Accessible facilities

³Ô¹ÏÍø is building a more accessible built environment by embedding accessibility into our foundational plans. This includes the Accessibility Plan, Capital Plan, Campus Master Plan, Landscape Master Plan, Signage Guidelines and Parking Plan. Through the Accessibility Certification, ³Ô¹ÏÍø employees have been trained to be Accessibility Assessors and audit the current built environment. Notable highlights on some ways ³Ô¹ÏÍø is building a more accessible built environment include:

Accessible parking spaces

³Ô¹ÏÍø's campuses offer designated accessible parking spots in most of our visitor and permit lots. These spaces are clearly identified by the Ministry of Transportation symbol on a posted sign and/or marked pavement.

  • ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Kitchener location includes accessible spots located in the parking lot behind the building. The adjacent door has an automatic door operator and easy access to the elevator.

Service animals on campus

Capital Plan

³Ô¹ÏÍø is in the process of completing its first Capital Plan, which lays out constructing history and existing conditions. It also provides a list of significant future capital projects. The Capital Plan provides a list of existing conditions as they relate to accessibility and the need for improvements.

Campus Master Plan

Both the Waterloo and Brantford campus master plans highlight areas where accessibility needs to be addressed in future development. This includes the design of corridors, paths of travel, building entrances and connection between buildings. In developing the new Waterloo Campus Master Plan, stakeholder engagement meetings included the perspective of persons with disabilities and best practices in accessible built environments.

Landscape Master Plan

To develop the Landscape Master Plan, stakeholder engagement meetings were conducted, which included the perspective of persons with disabilities. Accessibility, Indigenization and equity are key principles in the vision of the plan.
