As a third-year undergraduate majoring in Psychology, I sought out co-op positions for Summer 2023 that would immerse me in research-intensive environments. I was thrilled when I received an offer to join the Live Work Well Research Centre (LWWRC) as their Communications Co-Op student. My primary role was to assist in planning the Reimagining Livelihoods Forum, an event rooted in the Centre's partnership focused on disabilities and livelihoods.
You can now view the Reimagining Livelihoods Forum Program on our website!
Register by August 14 if you have any dietary restrictions (if attending in-person) or accessibility needs (if attending online or in-person)! Find registration information on the Reimagining Livelihoods Forum event page.
The Review of Disability Studies (RDS) is currently looking for papers of approximately 6000 words in length for a themed Special Issue: Conversations with/across the Global South: Towards Decolonial Disability Futurities, with guest editors Drs. Xuan Thuy Nguyen, Carleton University;, Katie Aubrecht, St. Francis Xavier University;, and Shilpaa Anand, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani. The deadline for submission has been extended to August 31st, 2023.
Registration is now open for the hybrid Reimagining Livelihoods Forum, August 23-24, 2023. Attending this event will provide you with an opportunity to share, discuss, and engage with diverse perspectives, experiences, and knowledges about livelihoods. Livelihoods describe the means to secure the necessities of life. We are living in a time of change and uncertainty, which presents an opportunity to reimagine what “livelihoods” are made of, and collaboratively identify the supports, structures, and systems we need to live and work well.
