Power, Politics and Justice in the World Food Economy
Annual David Morrison Lecture in International Development
Time:
7:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Location: Market Hall, 140 Charlotte Street
About: Dr. Jennifer Clapp, Canada research chair in Global Food Security & Sustainability at the University of Waterloo. Recent mergers among some of the world’s largest agrifood companies underline the extent to which just a handful of giant firms have come to dominate the global food system. As the power of transnational agrifood corporations has grown, debates have intensified over what it means for efforts to promote more just and sustainable food systems around the world. This lecture explores how corporate power in the global food system is being expressed in new ways, its implications for world food security and sustainability, and the politics of efforts to resist it.

Wednesday, October 10, 2018

Aging Studies Late Life Homelessness: Aging on the Streets, in Shelters, and Long-Term Care
Time: 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Location: Bagnani Hall, Traill College
About: Dr. Amanda Grenier, McMaster University, discusses the results of her four year ethnographic study on homelessness in Montreal, Quebec. Key findings highlight a shift in the age profile of homelessness in Canada, the lack of recognition of older people in strategies on homelessness, length of stay of older men compared to younger men, and insights from stakeholders and older people. Professor Grenier outlines the contradictions that exist between planning for older people and older people who are homeless; most notably, underlining how older people with experiences of homelessness experience unequal aging in locations that are not only misaligned with frameworks of health and well-being in late life, but also considered ‘undesirable.’
