About the Seminar: This Symposium shares insights from the Towards Just Care project, led by Dr. Mary Jean Hande (Assistant Professor, Trent University, and TCAS Faculty Member) in partnership with the Disability Justice Network of Ontario. The project focuses on reimagining more "just" home care systems through grassroots coalition-building. Alana Hart (MA Student, Trent University, and TCAS Graduate Associate), Danielle Turpin (President and Founder, Home Care Workers Cooperative), and Mary Jean Hande will discuss community-engaged approaches to building solidarity between older home care receivers and workers through social justice frameworks, "power mapping" existing home care systems, and innovative cooperative models for improving the conditions of work and care.
