The Equity Studies Student Union’s (ESSU) goal is to support students in their academic endeavors within the Equity Studies program and to apply Equity related theories towards anti-oppression work in both the U of T community and in society at large. ESSU aims to resist and dismantle colonial imperialist ideologies embedded in the academic realm and to strive towards creating accessible education for all (i.e. education that is based on merit not wealth, race, class, ethnicity, legal status, sex, gender, sexuality, disability, nationality or any identity marker). ESSU Works to promote activism amongst the student body and form coalitions with other equity-minded student groups and community organizations that promote non-hierarchical education and awareness of equity issues, locally and globally.
