91��ɫ launches first-of-its-kind initiative to address barriers for Black youth across Canada

roshanp — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 16:51:01 +0000

National pan-university program backed by $1.2 million from RBC Foundation as part of RBC Future Launch

TORONTO, Oct. 5, 2021 –��91��ɫ is launching��a three-year initiative��to enhance the representation of Black youth at universities across Canada by supporting upper-year high school students as they plan for their future such as pursuing post-secondary education or work — and aiding in the transition and retention of those who pursue university. The initiative is led by Professor Carl James, 91��ɫ’s Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community and Diaspora in the Faculty of Education. James has focused on addressing systemic barriers and racial inequities for over a decade and a recent��from the RBC Foundation, as part of��, is allowing this work to go national.

“We’re starting to see some attention to streaming — the process of placing students into academic or non-academic oriented classes based on their assumed intellectual abilities. The Ontario government’s announcement about ending academic streaming starting with the Grade 9 math curriculum this September as well as a ban on suspending young students is an okay start. However, we have a long way to go. Black students across Canada continue to report racial inequities and experience barriers in the education system,” says��, whose 2017 groundbreaking research revealed Black students are being disproportionately streamed away from academic programs and suspended at significantly higher rates than white or other racialized students.��The report,��, used data to show poor outcomes for Black students and that current students were experiencing worse outcomes than their parents and grandparents.

James is bringing together Kevin Hewitt, Physics Professor from Dalhousie University; Juliet Daniel, Associate Dean of Research from McMaster University; Jennifer Adams, Canada Research Chair in Creativity & STEM and Associate Professor from University of Calgary; and Annette Henry, Professor, Language and Literacy Education from University of British Columbia, who share a commitment to addressing the educational issues of Black youth to further the systemic anti-Black racism work of individual institutions, including interventions and research. The research component will build on existing Canadian census data with a longitudinal study of grade 11 and 12 students over a three-year period, informing the development of new community-based and student-support programs, and will for the first time facilitate the sharing of documentation and data across Canadian universities — allowing for geographical and contextual comparisons to be made. For example, James is particularly interested in the experience of second-and-third generation Black students and how the impact of generational status compares between Toronto and Halifax.

In 2020,��RBC��to address the inequity and systemic bias that have disadvantaged Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) individuals and youth. As part of this commitment, RBC committed to providing $50 million in focused funding through RBC Future Launch to create meaningful and transformative pathways to prosperity for 25,000 BIPOC youth by 2025.

“Ensuring��that Black students have equitable access to opportunity is critical to building strong, inclusive communities,” says Mark Beckles, Vice-President, Social Impact & Innovation, RBC. “We are working closely with our partners, including many BIPOC-serving organizations, to enable access. RBC’s support of the now national work of the Jean Augustine Chair will help to ensure that present and future generations of Black talent can reach their fullest potential.”

The initiative will kick off on Oct. 6 with a national conversation hosted by 91��ɫ and the RBC Student Success Initiative and Data Hub.

How has COVID-19 impacted mothers? Women’s studies scholar available for interviews

roshanp — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 16:57:19 +0000

TORONTO, March 8, 2021 –��A mother’s role is pivotal to the functioning of her family − especially evident during the COVID-19 pandemic − yet her extraordinary efforts are often overlooked, says motherhood expert Professor Andrea O’Reilly in the School of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies at 91��ɫ.

“Mothers do the bulk of domestic labour, childcare, and elder care. With social isolation, the burden of carework has increased exponentially in both time and concern, as they are running households with little or no support,” says O’Reilly, who has recently received a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council to study the impact of COVID-19 on mothers.

O’Reilly, who co-edited the new book , is available for interviews on:

The increasingly complex demands on mothers due to the COVID-19 pandemic
The impact of the new pandemic realities on mothers’ employment
What strategies mothers can apply to manage competing demands of carework and paid work under COVID-19
Why mothers are less likely to consider having additional children in current conditions

Are increasing theatrics turning politics into a reality show? 91��ɫ expert available to comment

roshanp — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 14:42:07 +0000

TORONTO, February 6, 2020 – Millions of viewers tuned in to watch U.S. President Donald Trump deliver his televised State of the Union address on Feb. 4 outlining the country’s accomplishments under his presidency, and millions more watched as the Senate voted on the impeachment process. But the viewers witnessed more antics than usual, according to in the Theatre Department of 91��ɫ’s School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design.

“The State of the Union Address embraced the theatrical logic of a Reality TV show with President Trump starring in what felt like the latest episode of The Apprentice, or a Reality version of The Handmaid’s Tale.

The visible hostility between Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi both played into and resisted this framing, culminating in Pelosi’s powerful act of tearing up ‘the script’,” said Levin. “This is a clear example of how politicians are now fully aware of the camera and are playing to their audiences.”

Levin, who is currently writing a book on politicians as performers, is available to comment on:

The theatrical nature of politicians, offering what masses want to hear
Performance and political rhetoric in the U.S. and Canada
Use of costume, props, gesture, and spectacle in political performances
Shifting ways in which politicians perform authenticity
