Nada Aoudeh
Nada Aoudeh is currently completing her PhD with a focus on Gendered Islamophobia and Muslim women’s leadership. Nada is also a provincial equity facilitator, training senior leaders in the human services fields to enable coherence in strategies across sectors(e.g. education, mental health, child welfare, justice, etc.). She is a founding member of an Alliance of Educators for Muslim Students (AEMS) in York Region. Nada’s Tedx Education talk ‘Loud Silences and Quiet Voices’ invites educators to not only create space for diverse student voices but to get uncomfortable and listen to those voices that challenge the dominant ways of knowing and being in the world. Nada is committed to a vision of education that centers the experiences and voices of marginalized identities thereby promoting schools as a site of social transformation.
