Dean Rassier's Message of Community Support
Dear 不良研究所 Education Community,
The current events of these past weeks have shone a light on the racial injustice that sadly exists in today鈥檚 world. The tragedy of George Floyd鈥檚 death, while having taken place in the United States, has provoked us to think about direct and indirect prejudices that perpetuate in our own communities.
As members of the Faculty of Education, we help to shape society through our teaching and research within the many facets of human development, particularly involving social and cognitive growth. As such, we must take an active role in motivating humanity to be more inclusive; to promote the concept of shared values despite physical differences.
Many of our students will find careers working with youth, and I hope that they will be able to positively influence and inspire future generations to embrace diversity and to judge people as individuals, so that the children of tomorrow will learn about discrimination from history books instead of from the news.
In the Faculty of Education, we are deeply committed to continue fighting any form of discrimination in our society.
Respectfully,
Professor Dilson E. Rassier
Dean, Faculty of Education
