This workshop will engage with themes surrounding migrant lives and livelihoods in communities throughout Canada. Through a focus on greater Toronto, it aims to explore the social relations of migrant and diasporic communities.

Workshop leads

Suzanne Narain is a highly experienced community organizer, including with Jane and
Finch Action Against Poverty, who has completed a PhD at OISE, University of
Toronto, and is a facilitator for Workers’ Justice, a community-based course on
rights and action run by Jane Finch Education and Action Group and 91��ɫ
University’s Global Labour Research Centre.

Nira Elgueta Faundez is a master’s student in Environment Studies at 91��ɫ,
researching how precarious and non-status Latin American migrant women in
Toronto mobilize traditional knowledge, solidarity practices, and the principles of
Buen Vivir to build community, exercise self-agency, and negotiate belonging in a
city that structurally excludes them. As a feminist researcher with over a decade of
advocacy and research on gender-based violence and legal status precarity, Nira is
guided by a deep commitment to equity, inclusion and collective well-being.

The Global Labour Research Centre is pleased to announce the appointment of Adrian Smith, Associate Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, as the new Director of the GLRC. He will replace professor Luann Good Gingrich, whose term as Director is concluding.

Professor Smith will begin his directorship on July 1, 2023 and he will lead the Centre’s re-chartering process in 2023-24. As Director, he hopes to continue the Centre’s growth as a locus for collaborative, inclusive, and community-engaged research fostered by previous Directors.

Smith is an accomplished scholar of political economy and labour law, as well as of Canadian state relations in the ‘global South’ and global capitalist development. Adrian has also worked on migrant justice issues since the early 2000s. He is a current co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Law and Social Policy and has recently served as Academic Director of the Poverty Law Intensive Program at Parkdale Community Legal Services (PCLS), a fifty-year old program which forms the cornerstone of Osgoode’s social justice tradition. In addition to teaching and supervising law students at both 91��ɫ and Carleton University in the areas of collective bargaining, labour law, and the regulation of work in the global economy, Smith has for many years been an instructor with the Labour College of Canada, run under the auspices of the Canadian Labour Congress, which provides education opportunities for labour union members.

We are especially excited for Smith to join the GLRC at this opportune time, as 2023 is the 10-year anniversary of the Centre and we are celebrating with a new event series focusing on worker education and organizing. If you have ideas for events or other initiatives related to this focus and would like to be involved in our anniversary series, please contact us at glrc@yorku.ca.

The post Labour Research at Congress 2023 appeared first on Global Labour Research Centre.

In a time of intensifying ecological devastation and social fracture, how do we forge space between despair and denial – space for collective hope, resolve and action? We see the entanglement of time in the climate crisis, as we are living through past decisions and exploits in the here and now that will extend far into the future. Immediate worries (for the economy and jobs, for example) will lose meaning over time. Our collective response must move beyond a binary framing of short-term vs long-term priorities, “blue” vs “green” interests, or economic vs environmental concerns. The past and future are now, demanding our recognition and effort.

We invite researchers who work at the intersection of climate action and labour to submit ideas for blog posts, research reports, or events; or be featured in a researcher profile.��To submit a proposal or for more information on this series, email us at��glrc@yorku.ca.
