What do you think the typical university student looks like? A lot of the time we don’t imagine ourselves as the ideal student, whether it be because we may not see ourselves on the same academic level or that we don’t see ourselves represented in media covering university experience.
This episode, Sam and Bri talk to current university students about their perceptions of “the typical university student”, where these stereotypes come from, and what supports exist for students from equity deserving groups.
Backstage Pass is funded by an eCampus Ontario Virtual Learning Strategy Grant, and is a collaboration between students, staff, and community members based at Ryerson University (Renaming in process) and York University.
