Embark on a transformative journey of social change with the Social Justice & Diversity Field of Study's event: "Synergy for Social Justice: Linking Policy and Practice." This forum offers a unique opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and community members to delve into and strengthen the connections between social work, policy advocacy, and real-world applications. Through a blend of presentations, interactive discussions, and engaging activities, we will collaboratively explore policies and practices impacting communities and individuals, fostering personal growth and learning.
We value your unique perspectives and experiences. Please bring your questions and insights to the table. Engage in conversations about the pressing social issues, spanning from inclusivity and justice to sovereignty and security. Together, we will collaborate to foster a deeper understanding of social justice’s function in policy and practice and work towards actionable change in the following topics:
Anti-Carceral Approaches to Gender Violence
Housing Insecurity
Inclusivity through Disability and Social Justice
Indigenous Rights and Self-Sovereignty in Canada
