St. Clementâs School is delighted to announce that renowned author Annahid Dashtgard (MEd), will be the keynote speaker at SCSâs Race, Privilege, and Community Conference on Saturday, November 2, 2019.
Ms Dashtgardâs first book, Breaking the Ocean: A Memoir of Race, Rebellion, and Reconciliation, was recently released to critical acclaim. She is the co-founder of Anima Leadership, an international consulting company specializing in issues of diversity and inclusion, the creator of the Breaking the Ocean: Soundwaves of Belonging podcast, the director of two award-winning documentaries, and has been published in The Globe and Mail and The Toronto Star.
Generously supported by St. Clementâs parents Tracy Pryce and Michael Salamon, the full-day conference is open to independent schools from across the region and will be dedicated to the in-depth analysis and discussion of issues surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion in our schools and in our communities.
Participating schools will send students, faculty, administration, parents, alumnae, and others in leadership roles in order to facilitate the sharing of experiences, opinions, ideas, and the creation of possible solutions to take back to their own schools.
