RESPECT Magazine
What is RESPECT Magazine?
RESPECT is a digital magazine run by students at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to promote an immersive dialogue on equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). The interdisciplinary project is supported by the Equity Enhancement Fund at UBC Okanagan.
Like an acrostic poem, RESPECT stands for Representation and Equity in Systemic Practices to Effect Change Today. The digital space is coordinated and edited by multidisciplinary students.
RESPECT magazine may be your first opportunity to get published. It can also be an alternate way to share, react, collaborate, and inform our community. We want this interdisciplinary and quasi-academic digital publication to be rich with your participation.
Mission & Value Statements
Our mission is to invite and publish different points of view on EDI from the UBC student community to develop a respectful and safe environment.
We value the importance of creating a digital space that is accessible, informative, and collegial.
