I bring 23 years of research, teaching, and community university activism in the areas of equity,
decolonization, critical race theory (CRT), social justice, and queer activism from an intersectional and
interdisciplinary perspective. CRT, as a paradigm, is employed in my equity and decolonization analysis to
question majoritarian interests, and critique and enhance the manner in which the subject of racism and
equity is conceptualized. Because of the meaning and value imputed to whiteness, in my teaching,
decolonization and CRT become an important intellectual tool for constructing and deconstructing
discussions about equity, antiblackracism, social justice, and democracy. In addition to scholarly work in
institutions of higher learning, I have been involved with diverse community mobilization-based projects in
Canada and the Caribbean that explore and actively work with the concerns of socially disfranchised and
marginalized populations. I have worked tirelessly with our university's FA to ensure the incorporation of
the very first equity statement in our constitution and collective agreement to address systemic
discrimination and equality in employment. This was done with the aid of CAUT's Rosa Barker, whose
equity training assisted me greatly in bringing forward the equity statement in the current round of collective
bargaining – a process that I am involved in as a member of the bargaining team. I am committed to
working across borders, connecting the spaces between the Caribbean and Canada, as well as unsettling
the uneven terrain. In essence, my academic life is a public expression of my commitment to equity,
antiblackracism, and social justice.

Re: Nomination of Dr. Wesley Crichlow for Co-Chair of the CAUT Equity Committee
Dear Committee Members,
It is with great pleasure that I nominate Dr. Wesley Crichlow for Co-Chair of CAUT Equity
Committee, for which he is imminently qualified. Dr. Crichlow is an active member of the
University of Ontario Institute of Technology Faculty Association (UOITFA), with specific
duties as member of the Executive Committee, Chair of the Equity Committee, Association
Secretary, Senior Grievance Officer, and a member of the Association’s current tenure and
tenure-track collective bargaining team. In these roles, he has been a critical advocate for
enhancing workplace conditions at the UOIT. His equity initiatives combine academic work with
community advocacy, and build on Critical Race Theory (CRT), intersectionality, and
interlocking systems of oppression.
Dr. Crichlow advocated for the inclusion of the first equity statement in the UOITFA
Constitution, chairs the first UOITFA Equity Working Group Committee, and is now working
with the Collective Bargaining Team to ensure we obtain a letter of understanding on
employment equity at UOIT. His hard work in this area has led to the creation of UOITFA’s first
Equity Committee, along with the formalization of equity principles within the objectives of the
Association as recently laid out in its Constitution as follows: “to promote and support equity,
non-discrimination, and democracy within the Association and the broader University
community such that every member of that community is treated with dignity and respect.” This
was done with the aid of Rosa Barker from CAUT who delivered equity training to our faculty,
assisting in creating the necessary groundwork to bring the motion forward without opposition or
resistance.
In the current round of collective bargaining for tenured and tenure‐track faculty, Dr. Crichlow
has been a key source of support on the UOITFA Collective Bargaining Team and Committee.
Communications are a vital component of any organization, and as Communications Officer, Dr.
Crichlow has been responsible for marshalling, producing, and overseeing the UOITFA’s
communications efforts. Under his guidance, communications have vastly improved. Further,
grievances are among the most important work of a faculty association, and Dr. Crichlow
currently serves as the Association’s Senior Grievance Officer and a member of the Grievance
Committee. Dr. Crichlow has been a dynamic mentor to faculty in crisis. His dedication and
perseverance have helped guide many faculty through various difficulties.
Over the years, Dr. Crichlow has been active in a wide array of university and community nonprofit work in areas of equity, decolonization, LGBTQ rights, antiblackracism, CRT, and social
justice transformation. He has taught decolonized pedagogy at IO HA HI: IO Akwesasne First
Nations Reserve Adult Education and at the First Nations Technical Institute -Tyendinaga
Mohawk Territory. In addition, he currently serves as chair of the Toronto South Detention
Center – Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services – Ontario.
In terms of Dr. Crichlow’s recent/current CAUT activities, Dr. Critchlow brings a unique set of
equity and social justice skills as co-chair of CAUT’s Equity Committee through his
commitment and understanding of structural forms of oppression and marginalization that racial
minorities face within academia. Wesley integrates his education and experience in a seamless
way, enabling him to strategically work with both communities and institutions to achieve justice
and social change. He is well respected by his colleagues in both academia and the community.
In summary, Dr.Crichlow provides a refreshingly engaging standard of equity and social justice
work, fighting for equitable transformation of the academy and society at large, while also
contributing inimitably to issues of structural inequality, critical race theory, and antiblackracism
theories and practice. I highly recommend him for the position of Co-Chair of the CAUT Equity
Committee.
Sincerely,
