Event Description
The Storied Lives Project team attended the annual Laurier Institute for the Study of Public Opinion and Policy (LISPOP) Forum event on October 20th, including Dr. Leah Levac, co-lead of the Displacements, Emergence and Change cluster. The project team attended this event to give Centre members and the surrounding community an opportunity to listen to Storied Lives podcast, and to discuss initiatives about poverty and housing.
Storied Lives is a partnered initiative by the Displacements, Emergence and Change cluster with the Live Work Well Research Centre and the Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination. The Displacements, Emergence and Change cluster focuses on building inclusive cities, communities, towns and governance models to respond to displacements that result from resource extraction, living wages, and other broad socioeconomic and political shifts and challenges. The Storied Lives project highlights diverse perspectives on poverty, and the political and social changes that affect poverty in Ontario, using storytelling to convey critical, complex issues in a new medium.
