Iranian women poets have often been overshadowed by their male counterparts. To tackle this problem, @UofT has signed a multi-year partnership with @iranicaonline to shine a light on Iranian writers and Iranian cinema.📝 🎥

#BookClub: "When we think about intersections, we need to question, push and unlearn. I appreciated that the author pushed the boundaries. Questions of oppression are often in grey spaces." @Kekeluni1

Scarborough’s systemic barriers reflect one of the most striking examples of the inequitable distribution of resources in major cities. We spoke to @SCMirror about what’s at stake for #scarbto in the upcoming federal election.

[toronto.com @torontodotcom]

Could this federal election actually solve Scarborough’s problems? Some say there won’t be progress until politicians stop talking and work together to address issues. @ZeroGunViolence @42Voices @ScarboroStudies @youthlinkto #ScarbTO #elxn44

For decades Islamophobia has been used by governments to rationalize wars, stoke hatred i.e. Barbaric Cultural Practices Act, niqab bans and rationalize surveillance and arrests of Muslim communities. The terrorist act in London didn't come from nowhere, it was created here.
