There's no such thing as retirement security without a safe climate to retire into.

We're glad to see @UPP_Ontario consistently and publicly recognizing this fundamental truth.

Wonderful to host the inspiring @N_Kabeer for the Hopper lecture @uofg.

How do women create change through collective action? Hear reflections on collective action from Dr. Naila Kabeer's Hopper Lecture.

**The Hopper Lecture is made possible through the generous sponsorship of the IDRC.**

BREAKING Aug 26: The wastewater metric is going to be lost on Ontario Sept 6!! This means with very little testing no one will really know if we're in a COVID wave or not, This is profoundly dangerous. Thanks @DavidElfstrom

[Naila Kabeer @N_Kabeer]

A very polite and very reasonable request. I hope @BernardsNick is willing to engage with you and explain equally politely why he chose to ignore what has been a groundbreaking contribution in your shared field.

It is about embedding anti-colonialism and anti-racism into our everyday practices as scholars. This includes our choices - because they are CHOICES - about who we cite and teach.

The $10.5bn pension fund for faculty & staff at Queen's, UofG & UofT is managed by @UPP_Ontario. Professors from all 3 universities are asking that UPP honour the #divestment commitments of UofG & UofT & make their pensions #fossilfree. #cdnpoli #onpoli https://t.co/Vb9rGPt9zn

"In a dramatic statement, Harvard University announced that it will divest all of its massive US$42-billion endowment from #fossilfuels... It’s time for our schools to respect science, follow Harvard’s lead, & set the path to a cleaner future." #cdnpoli https://t.co/beakRGAggL
