CRHESI, in collaboration with the Health Equity IDI and a large entourage of community collaborators, is a leading partner on the City Symposium series.

Each event tackles an issue from different perspectives as four speakers — an artist, a researcher, a civil servant, and an activist — share 12 minute presentations around a central theme.

The first event is March 21, 7PM, at Museum London. The evening will feature presentations on the theme of health and well-being from…

• Melanie Schambach (Visual Artist)

• Yasmin Hussain (Violence Prevention Coordinator, Muslim Resource Centre)

• Lloy Wylie (Assistant Professor in the Schulich Interfaculty Program in Public Health)

• Alexander Summers (Associate Medical Officer, Middlesex-London Health Unit)

Be sure to get connected with this City Symposium event — and the entirety of this unique, community-driven series — on Facebook, Eventbrite, and Mailchimp to stay in the loop!

CRHESI is hosting a workshop on the language and frameworks of cultural responsiveness. ‘Cultural competency,’ ‘cultural humility,’ and ‘cultural safety,’ among others, are terms increasingly deployed by organizations and institutions to guide policy, protocol, and training decisions. What can sometimes get lost in the jargon are the distinctive theoretical differences in these various models of cultural responsiveness.

In this workshop, we’ll unpack and analyze these terms. Community Engaged Learning students from studies in political science and international relations will share an overview of the theoretical differences between these models. This workshop considers the potential strengths and weakness of each framework, and the light that these ‘competing’ theories shed on one another’s ‘blindspots,’ assumptions, and biases.

Tue, 2 April 2019, 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM @ Innovation Works
