As part of Co-op Week 2023, join Dr. Dionne Pohler for the launch of her new co-edited volume, “Building Inclusive Communities in Rural Canada”. This collection challenges misconceptions that rural Canada is a bastion of intolerance. While examining the extent and nature of contemporary cultural and religious discrimination in rural Canadian communities, the editors and contributors explore the many efforts by rural citizens, community groups, and municipalities to counter intolerance, build inclusive communities, and become better neighbours. Throughout, scholars and community leaders focus on building new understandings, language, and ways of thinking about diversity and inclusion that will resonate with rural people.
This event will include a brief presentation focused on Dionne’s co-authored chapter in the book, “Co-operative Development Possibilities in Rural Settler and Indigenous Communities: Lessons from the Co-operative Innovation Project and Co-operatives First”. This will be followed by an informal reception afterwards. This reception will include a cash bar. Snacks will be provided. Books will be available for purchase.
Date: Tuesday, October 17th
Time: 4:30 – 6:30pm
Location: Prairie Room, Diefenbaker Canada Centre (101 Diefenbaker Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan)
