Dr. Erin Huner is the Director of Culture and Inclusion at Ivey Business School, where she leads EDI programming and community engagement. As a settler to Canada, Erin approaches the work of building equitable and inclusive culture as a listener. She practices listening as a way to better understand her own privilege and how she might use her privilege to open spaces for equity deserving individuals to speak and rebuild, those spaces, systems, and policies where they have been historically marginalized. She also approaches this work through her lived experience of being the mother of a child who is neurodiverse. Erin has expertise in Implementation Science and Evaluation, and has designed and implemented research and programming focused on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) and Gender-Based-Violence (GBV); student skill acquisition; and student mental health and wellbeing.
