This article is an expanded version of the 2023 Plenary Lecture at the Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE) Conference held at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. This invited essay explores the extent to which the promise of DEDI’s (decolonization, equity, diversity, and inclusion) polices and initiatives might bring about the imagined institutional changes in today’s context. Contending that we have been here before, the essay reckons that changes will not come about simply through verbal rhetoric, targeted hiring, or training sessions where individuals engage in self-reflection on their attitudes, values, and behaviours, but through critical examination of institutional policies, programs, and practices that result in the removal of systemic barriers which have operated over the years to maintain the inequitable situation being addressed.

Cet article est une version augmentée de la conférence plénière de la Société canadienne pour l’étude de l’éducation (SCEE) tenue lors du congrès annuel 2023 de la Fédération des sciences humaines. Cet essai explore la mesure dans laquelle la promesse des politiques et initiatives du EDID (équité, diversité, inclusion, décolonisation) pourrait amener les changements institutionnels envisagés dans le contexte actuel. Soutenant que nous sommes déjà passés par là, l’essai estime que les changements ne se produiront pas par de simples rhétoriques verbales, un recrutement ciblé ou des sessions de formation où les individus s’engagent dans une autoréflexion sur leurs attitudes, leurs valeurs et leurs comportements. La résolution du problème devra plutôt passer par un examen critique des politiques et pratiques institutionnelles ainsi que des programmes menant à la suppression des barrières systémiques ayant maintenu l’iniquité à travers les années.
