Project Title: Tri-City Proposal to Engage LGBTQ2S+ Older Adults in Reducing Social Isolation 40. Start: 2019/05/01 41. End: 2020/04/30 B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2 42. Project Summary The organizations working for older LGBTQ2S+ person in the three cities of Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Edmonton are submitting a proposal with the objective of addressing/preventing social isolation of LGBTQ2S+older adults. This will be accomplished through community-based engagement projects. More specific project goals are as follows: 1) to support the social participation and inclusion of LGBTQ2S+ seniors in local communities 2) to engage LGBTQ2S+ seniors in local communities through the mentoring of others 3) to promote volunteerism among LGBTQ2S+ seniors and other generations (50- and 60-year-olds) 4) to develop different approaches unique to each city 5) to share project learnings among the three participating groups and with like-minded agencies across Canada. This tri-city submission requests funding support for three sets of projects designed to help reduce social isolation and stress among LGBTQ2S+ older adults, as well as to improve their safety, mental health, physical health, and well-being, to engage them, to share their history, and to provide queer residents with additional skills and knowledge to age well. These initiatives would serve as an evaluated pilot that could be used to position the federal ministry for a multi-year program in the future and to seek longer-term funding support for such endeavors to improve social integration among LGBTQ2S+ communities (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two- spirit, and queer) and with civil society at large. Throughout the implementation process, periodic teleconference and face-to-face meetings will share progress and information. Outcomes and evaluation methods will be developed for feedback about each project. The submission is presented by three well-established organizations concerned about integration efforts between urban queer communities and community agencies. The organizations are: Edmonton Seniors Pride Group (ad hoc volunteer group, 2013), OUTSaskatoon, and [Winnipeg] Rainbow Resource Centre (not-for-profit organization, and the longest continually running LGBTQ2S+ resource centre in Canada, 1973). The need for more and better social integration opportunities for queer seniors is evident. Each of the three organizations making this proposal is working to create a strong, connected, visible senior queer community and culturally-appropriate and safe senior services and residential environments. A fuller description of the participating groups and proposal details are provided in SECTION B - Part 4 of this submission. 43. Project Activities Intergenerational activities to alleviate social isolation among LGBTQ seniors will be planned in consultation with other organizations around interactions between them and LGBTQ people and allies in 3 their 50s and 60s.

  • Pride Politics: a Socio-Affective Analysis by Randi Nixon a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For
    Pride Politics: A Socio-Affective Analysis by Randi Nixon A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Alberta ©Randi Nixon, 2017 ii Abstract: This dissertation explores the affective politics of pride in the context of neoliberalism and the multitude of way that proud feelings map onto issues of social justice. Since pride is so varied in both its individual and political manifestations, I draw on numerous instances of collective pride to attend to the relational, structural and historical contours of proud feelings. Given the methodological challenges posed by affect, I use a mixed- method approach that includes interviews, participant observation, and discourse analysis, while being keenly attuned to the tension between bodily materiality and discursivity. Each chapter attends to an “event” of pride, exploring its emergence during particular encounters with collective difference. The project fills a gap in affect theory by attending to the way that proud feelings play a vital role in both igniting the political intensity necessary to bring about change (through Pride politics), and blocking or extinguishing possibilities of respectful dialogue and solidarity across gendered, sexual, and racial difference. Across the chapters, pride is used as a conduit through which the complexity of affective politics can be examined. The proud events around and through which each chapter is structured expose paths of affect and its politics. Taken together, the chapters provide an initial blueprint for navigating contemporary affective politics. Through an examination of the discursive rendering of pride, I find that, across several literatures, two key characteristics of pride are its deep relationality between individuals and collectives, and the way it circulates, is managed, and emerges in relation to social hierarches and the value attached to political categories (race, class, gender, ability).
