Background

Dr Everton Ellis joins Mount Saint Vincent University’s Faculty of Education as an Assistant Professor of Social Justice (Black Scholar). His research employs theories and praxis of anti-racism, postcolonialism, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and comparative and international education to explore how school leaders and education stakeholders facilitate diversity, equity, and inclusion for students in diverse school boards. Dr Ellis’ work engages Black communities, especially around social justice, culturally responsive pedagogies/teaching, and public schooling. His research interests centre on anti-racism/anti-Black racism and Black learners in educational contexts in Jamaica and Canada.
