We are seeking both seasoned authors and emerging academics to help us present the stories, people and ideas that matter.

Social Justice is a Good Idea! An Ideation Session for Social Justice Groups on Campus

AUGUST 6th, 11am-12:30pm, ZOOM

This session seeks to explore solutions for the BIG questions many of us are grappling with – how do student leaders build community and how does social justice work function online in a COVID world?

Working together using design-thinking strategies, this session will bring student groups together to discuss:



  • How might groups attract students to online programs/events?

  •  How might groups ensure they are reaching the marginalized students they hope to serve?

  • How might you create genuine connection using online platforms?

  • How might you ensure safety when discussing social justice themes + actions online?

  • How might you better improve access to all?

  • How might you approach partnerships thoughtfully?



This session will be a practical working and ideation space, with information about how these ideas might be supported by Hart House’s Good Ideas Fund in the 2020/2021 year.



Groups can register here: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=JsKqeAMvTUuQN7RtVsVSECKdDrBRjmxClrJ8tWhVrQFUOVpNWkwyWjMzWjZEVDA2VVA2M09LQ0FXUS4u
