SUMMARY:Streams of Solidarity Project: Bearing Witness to Community Wisdoms for Organizing and Action - Forum 1
DESCRIPTION:Marginalized peoples have long sought and applied anti-oppressive approaches to community organizing and social action\, but these collective wisdoms and actions often remain unknown to mainstream social work practitioner and researchers. Without a localized and collaborative approach to grassroots efforts\, scholars and service providers lack an understanding of the full scope of tactics and efforts used to effect transformative change. \nThe Streams of Solidarity Project examines implicit collective wisdoms found in community-based activism led by migrants\, people of colour\, and people with disabilities who are battling intersecting oppressions such as racism\, sexism\, transphobia\, ableism\, classism and xenophobia. The project brings together a range of scholars\, practitioners\, educators\, students\, and community leaders to learn about the organizing efforts of those directly impacted by structural oppressions. Its goal is to document these “critical tacit knowledges” to de-centre the dominant knowledge in social work and build knowledge from the margins. \nOn November 6 & 12\, join researchers and community leaders from the Streams of Solidarity Projects for “Bearing witness to community wisdoms for organizing and action” — a two-day event that will recognize and showcase international and local community organizing projects spanning migrant activism\, Trans Latina inclusion\, deep allyship with the Disability Movement in Japan\, and precarious public service workers responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. \nBearing witness to community wisdoms for organizing and action\nPresented by the Streams of Solidarity Project \nForum 1: Organizing and Action by/with Migrant Communities\nSaturday\, November 6\n3:00pm – 6:00pm EST\nRegister via zoom \nForum 2: Disability Allyship and Precarious Public Service Work in Japan\nFriday\, November 12\n6:00pm – 8:30pm EST\nRegister via zoom \nMore information\, including the full program\, will be posted shortly.

SUMMARY:Housing for All? What is Wrong with Canada's Housing System? with Professor David Hulchanski
DESCRIPTION:Hart House Alumni-Student Virtual Dinner: “Housing for All? What is Wrong with Canada’s Housing System?” with Dr. David Hulchanski\nWe have had a steady stream of federal housing programs since 1935. We now have a ten-year $80 billion National Housing Strategy (well\, actually\, we have a document with that title). Housing issues were widely debated in the recent federal election. Yet\, after all this time and effort\, who is happy with the way our housing system functions and the outcomes it is producing? Is access to homeownership becoming easier? Is the supply of rental housing at fair rents adequate? Is the number of unhoused Canadians steadily decreasing? \n\nA housing system must be built on the assumption that adequate housing for all at a reasonable cost is essentially social\, physical\, and economic infrastructure for a nation. A good housing system needs to ensure: \n\nAn adequate supply of new housing and the renewal of existing housing\nA mix of housing choices (types\, tenures\, locations) to meet the diverse needs of all households\nAdequate financial assistance for households who cannot afford to house appropriate to their needs.\n\nCanada has generally succeeded at the first but continually fails at the second and third. Why? And what can be done about this? \n>Click here to register \nAbout the speaker\n\n\nDavid Hulchanski is a professor of housing and community development at the University of Toronto’s Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work\, where he holds the endowed chair in housing. He served as the director of the Centre for Urban and Community Studies from 2000 to 2008. In the 1980’s he was a professor of community planning and housing at the University of British Columbia and director of the UBC Centre for Human Settlements. He is a former North American editor of the journal Housing Studies. At the UofT\, he teaches courses on social housing and homelessness\, cities and neighbourhood change\, and community development. In 2013 professor Hulchanski received the University of Toronto’s Carolyn Touhy Impact on Public Policy Award. \nProfessor Hulchanski’s research is focused on housing policy\, homelessness\, neighbourhoods\, and community development. Most recently he is the principal investigator of the SSHRC-funded Neighbourhood Change Research Partnership\, focused on neighbourhoods and socio-spatial income inequality and polarization trends in Canadian cities with international comparisons. A key summary report about Toronto from that project is The Three Cities in Toronto: Income Polarization Among Toronto’s Neighbourhoods.
