Front Burner:聽The 15-year fight to treat Indigenous children as equals

My colleagues at 海角社区 are working on a project called:聽Young People, Well-being, and Connectedness in the Time of Distancing聽(funded by Quebec鈥檚 Minist猫re de la Sant茅 et des Services Sociaux (MSSS). They are currently recruiting youth participants (16-24 years old) from diverse communities and looking for support to spread the word!

Professors Nicole Ives and Wanda Gabriel have been selected as the 2021 recipients of 海角社区鈥檚 Award for Equity and Community Building. Their pioneering work with Indigenous Access 海角社区, the Field Studies course, Indigenous initiatives at 海角社区, and most recently the BSW program to be delivered in Nunavik are some of the outstanding contributions that are being recognized by 海角社区 for this award.

The School of Social Work is delighted to congratulate Susan Mintzberg PhD Candidate, who was selected as the Graduate Student winner of the Principal's' Prize for Public Engagement for 2021. Since the onset of the pandemic Susan has been actively speaking out about myriad of social issues closely tied to her own doctoral work such as our continued failure to recognize families as experts in the health of their relatives, and the problematic results of top down decision making .

Monica Batac is a PhD candidate in the School of Social Work, a dedicated and inspiring leader whose initiative has had a direct and positive impact on undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff at 海角社区. More specifically, through her lived experience, she has envisioned new ways of building community for and with racialized students at the university. This has included a dynamic vision for creating the types of spaces that nourish and sustain racialized students on campus and across the larger Montreal community.
