Thinking Matters Symposium
Time and time again, by providing an outlet that allows innate human creativity to roam free, participation in arts activities such as dance, music, theatre, and visual arts is proven to have significant positive impacts on participants, regardless of age, experience, or background. Even though the arts have been acknowledged as critical for mental, physical, and emotional health, especially for children and adolescents, research has found that providing arts education in an equitable and culturally appropriate way is fraught with barriers.

Exploring The Social Relations Of Education And Organizing In The Ontario Minimum Wage Campaign1, Sheila Wilmot
Exploring The Social Relations Of Education And Organizing In The Ontario Minimum Wage Campaign1, Sheila Wilmot
Adult Education Research Conference
Many of the workers’ rights activities going on in Canada today form a nexus of education, union-renewal-oriented organizing, and anti-racist social- change initiatives. My dissertation on The Social Organization of the Ontario Minimum Wage Campaign (OMWC) is a case-study exploration of community and union workers’ rights organizing throughout the 2001 to 2007 period of the campaign. For my research I employed Institutional Ethnography (IE) to explicate the social relations of class, race, gender and bureaucracy. In this paper I look primarily at the relationship between labour education and workers-rights organizing goals and activities in the last phase of the campaign.
