Congratulations, Professor Hinton!

“We need more research to understand why the work of Indigenization and reconciliation tends to be placed on women and is thereby quite gendered.” In the latest Bulletin, Candace Brunette-Debassige discusses Indigenization at Canadian universities: caut.ca/bulletin/2024/…

Thank you to @UofT for making your voice heard- Ford's plan to remove bike lanes costs money that is sorely needed elsewhere in our city and makes our communities less healthy and less safe. #TOpoli @CycleToronto #toronto

October 21-25 is Fair Employment Week, celebrating and recognizing the many faculty at Canadian universities who make significant contributions yet don't have job security. @DalhousieU @CAUT_ACPPU @ANSUT_Tweets @cupe3912 #MakeItFair

It’s time for job security, fair pay, and benefits for @UofT and all contract faculty! Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca

Too many contract faculty have to reapply for their jobs every term and don’t know if they will be teaching semester-to-semester or year-to-year. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca
