“Recognizing anti-Black Racism” Survey

Dear University of Manitoba community member

The University of Manitoba Black Association (UMBA) is an initiative dedicated to supporting the success of future and present African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) students, staff and faculty at the University of Manitoba and in the broader Winnipeg community. The initiative purposely pays attention to the social oppression among Black U of M community members. They experience the intersectional reality anti-Black racism in the forms of sexism, gender biases, and ability. UMBA is led by a collaboration of Black alumni, staff, students and current faculty.

The UMBA committee requests your participation in the “Recognizing anti-Black Racism” survey. The fully confidential survey is for The University of Manitoba’s students, staff and faculty. Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary, and all of your responses are held in confidence. None of the responses will be connected to identifying information.

The survey is to be used as a needs assessment for UMBA’s approach on how to develop Afro-centric programs and initiatives that serve to challenge anti-Black racism, which is open to all U of M community members, and broader Winnipeg communities. The data collected will create pro-social and inclusive yearly programming for Black students, staff and faculty. UMBA will encourage non-African decent people to participate in its events.

The survey will take 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
