The Centre for Culture, Identity and Education (CCIE) is engaged in reinvigorating its work and representation, including updating its memberships and making much needed and long overdue updates to the Centre website (http://www.ccie.educ.ubc.ca).  Profs. Handel Kashope Wright and Andre Mazawi, as Director and Co-Director of the Centre for Culture, Identity and Education, respectively, invite graduate students whose work is aligned with or relevant to the CCIE to indicate interest in being officially listed as Student Associates and being involved in CCIE events and/or included in the Centre’s distribution list (to be informed about Centre events).

If you are interested in initiating or continuing work with the CCIE, please reply to Yao Xiao (yao.xiao@ubc.ca), providing your Full Name, Email, affiliation (e.g. university and department and program of study) as well as a brief paragraph of your academic/intellectual/community interests.
