Mohammad, 11, sustained severe burns from a gas line explosion when a missile struck his building in Lebanon.

His wish is to heal soon and he hopes the war will end.

We continue to call for a ceasefire for Mohammad and all the children in the region.

In Nunavut, the essence of care is deeply intertwined with traditional values and practices, cultural expression. We are proud to support @Nuability’s first of its kind analysis of the meaning of care in the Territory: https://t.co/IVsC9L2PAc #CdnCaregiving

My new pub! I question assumptions that intergen living always supports quality senior care. I find some immigrant seniors prefer not to live with adult children & that smooth intergen living is shaped by class & migration timing

From a Chinese proverb, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

Ford tearing down the trees at Ontario Place shows us once again he is not capable of respecting the power of trees. We don't just visit nature, it brings us home.

Thank you @normsworld for capturing the photos.

1 million women and girls have been forcibly displaced in #Gaza.
Half of them are now in #Rafah.

They are experiencing unbearable suffering, disease, and risk of famine.

We call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

@jannaKlos Congrats! Looking forward to reading this @jannaKlos

I'm thrilled to have won the 2023 Margaret Clark best graduate student paper prize! I argue that how immigrants conceptualize & arrange intergenerational living is influenced by class and housing. Thanks @AAGE1978 & the award committee @UofT_Sociology

It’s more important than ever to show our support for Trans folks in public ways.

I’m honoured to march alongside the 2SLGBTQI+ community at today’s Trans Rally & March.

Pride is political!
