Equity Coffee Hour with Benjamin Cheung

Benjamin Cheung, a member of the Department of Psychology’s Equity Committee, is hosting this week’s Equity & Inclusion Coffee Hour at Pearl Fever Tea House.

Each week, a different member of the department’s Equity Committee will be stationed at a coffee shop on campus, waiting for UBC Psychology faculty, staff, graduate or undergraduate students to drop by for a chat. If you have a concern related to equity or diversity, you can come to learn about existing resources, if you have a suggestion for the committee you can share it, or if you just want to chat about equity and diversity in the department, you’re welcome!

Benjamin Cheung, Faculty Member

I’m a lecturer in the Department of Psychology, and I’m also the department’s Indigenous Initiatives Coordinator. 80% of the time, I’m teaching research methods, social psychology, and cultural psychology. 20% of the time, I’m on Twitter, 90% of the time, I’m learning how to decolonize my teaching and the field psychology. I also try to sneak in some gaming and hockey when possible (5%?). That makes me the most inefficient person ever. If you want to chat – about school, life, teaching, culture, racialized experiences, or anything else, come see me!
