Our Mission

Learning spaces free from prejudice

Harmful unconscious biases and practices of exclusion in education perpetuate divisions along race, religion, gender, disability, sexuality, caste and other intersecting distinctions.

It is incumbent on all of us as educators and school leaders to work deliberately toward schools that facilitate belonging and justice for all. The DEIJB Lab is where that work is designed, tested and shared — supported by HKU's Knowledge Exchange Strategic Impact Fund.
