Satwinder Bains
Director, UFV South Asian Studies Institute
Generationally, there has been a thread of social justice weaving through our family. I hope to pass this on to my next generations and students.
My passion for social change spills over into the classroom where I help students see their larger role in society after graduation. I share my knowledge, show them new ways of thinking, and encourage them to not become complacent with the way things are. Without activism, academia is lifeless, and doesn’t create the spark that you need to ignite new ideas and new ways of thinking.
They will go on to make powerful and positive change in the world as justice advocates, international development workers, teachers, social workers, and much more.
At the University of the Fraser Valley, I can both mentor the next generation of changemakers in the classroom and lead by example in my community.
