Join OPIRG Monday, October 24 for this interactive and insightful look at Race and Racism in Hamilton: Mapping Community Response Over Space and Time, with facilitator Jane Mulkewich.
This will be an interactive workshop, in which participants will make a timeline involving the development of racialized communities in the Hamilton area, incidents of racism, and community responses to racism, from 1700 until the present day. No prior knowledge is assumed; newspaper articles will be used as one source of information.
Come and learn about Aboriginal issues in Hamilton, Hamilton’s former Chinatown and Little Africa, the aftermath of 911 in Hamilton, and the role of institutions such as the municipal government, the police service and the university.
Jane Mulkewich is a consultant on human rights issues, currently studying law, and a McMaster graduate. She is a member of the Hamilton Police Services Board and a number of other groups working for positive social change in the community. Her interest in genealogy and local history combined with her anti-racism work have led to her ongoing research on the racial history of Hamilton.
Hi there.I have heard a great deal about Jane Mulkewich and I have been trying to contact her. Can you tell me how to get a hold of her. She made some interesting comments about citizen patrol watch groups being abused, and I wanted to confirm for her that I believe this is the case.I also wanted to talk to her about her work in other areas such as sexual harassment and race. If you know how to get a hold of her, can you forward me her contact details or just post the information to my blog. gangstalking.blogger.com Thanks.
