TCDT research group is committed to promoting Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). We value an environment where members feel supported, respected, and empowered to share their perspectives, pursue research interests, and succeed. We seek to recruit and retain individuals from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented groups, such as women, racialized individuals, LGBTQ2S+  community members, indigenous people, and people with disabilities. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive culture where everyone feels valued and respected. Through our commitment to the EDI, we aim to make positive change and a meaningful impact on our community.
