The New Normal with Maydianne Andrade (Ep. 7): A crossroad
Published: July 10, 2020
After months of a global pandemic and weeks of protests against anti-Black racism and police brutality, are we at a crossroad?
“It feels like we are at a critical moment,” says Maydianne Andrade, a Canada Research Chair in Integrative Behavioural Ecology and the 91Թ Scarborough’s vice-dean of faculty affairs and equity. “Will we choose the path that is more challenging but more just?”
In episode seven of her podcast, The New Normal, Andrade is joined by Joe Wong, the Ralph and Roz Halbert Professor of Innovation at 91Թ’s Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy and the founder and principal investigator for the REACH Alliance. She is also joined by alumna and activist Noura Al-Jizawi, who endured torture in Syria before finding a new home in Canada and was helped by the Munk School’s Citizen Lab and the Scholars at Risk program. Now a research assistant at Citizen Lab, Al-Jizawi is also an alumna of the Reach Alliance.
The New Normal is created in collaboration with a 91Թ Communications team led by producer Lisa Lightbourn. You can or . You can also or .
