We will discuss different humanistic-oriented approaches to address mass forced eviction & global housing discrimination, such as right‐based approaches (the right to adequate housing, the right to the city, inclusiveness, capability building, empowerment and other approaches). We will also have an epistemological reflection on how to humanize the terms, notions and concepts used in this field by scholars and specialists. This symposium will address mass forced evictions, displacements, and their current impacts on Indigenous communities near and far. This discussion will be in the framework of postcolonial analysis.
This symposium is organized by a group led by Black and Indigenous scholars/advocates from the University of Toronto (Black Canadian Studies at University College, The Department of Sociology and Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design), The University of Michigan (Department of Afro-American and African Studies and the Department of Anthropology), The University of Pittsburgh (Urban Studies Program).
It is financially supported by The School of Cities, The Housing Justice Lab, and The Black Research Network. It is also supported in communication by the Indigenous Initiatives Office at the Faculty of Law.
