In the spirit of collective care, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone this event. We will be rescheduling it to Thursday, March 5th, so please stay tuned for a new registration link. Apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you for your continued support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Office of Social Innovation, Toronto Metropolitan University You are invited to our first Transformation Café event of the year, Practice of Community Care on Campus, on January 29th at 12:00 pm- 1:30 pm. Featuring disability justice scholar and care collective organizer, Dr. Loree Erickson, and collective care artist–researcher and TMU ComCult alum, L. Morris, this conversation and workshop will take up how we care for one another in university. This session will animate Loree’s long-standing and revolutionary work with care collectives and L’s practices of collective care, mutual aid, and harm reduction. We will open with a conversation between Loree and L on collective care, mutual aid, and abolition. We will then have small group discussions and maker circles where participants will reflect on their own care practices and networks, consider tensions between state-supported care and community-led care, and imagine concrete ways to build and sustain care on campus. We will engage these topics through conversation and collage. This on campus lunch time event is free and open to the public. Lunch and ASL interpretation will be provided. We ask that those coming in person wear a face mask when not eating. Surgical masks will be available. <h4>Location + Time</h4>When: Thursday, January 29th, 11:30am-1:30pm with the event beginning at 12 noon.Event begins at 12pmWhere: 288 Church Street, (DCC building), room 707/709Access: ASL interpretation.

These panel events explore our strategic theme: social justice approaches to accessing education and campus space. Transformation cafes are discussions that are open to the TMU community and the public that invite people from different disciplines and communities to engage in dialogue around a common issue.Previous events in this series critiqued inclusion into a normative system and offered different perspectives on safety and security on campus space. Stay tuned for our next Transformation Cafe in May that will center the intersection of disability, death, and access to housing. <h4>Learn More</h4>
