It traces their life trajectories and examines such themes as the coming out process as it related to family, religion, and other life events; the cultural and political environment that influenced them; their involvement in various forms of lesbian feminist political activism; their varied professional contributions, and their reflections on the future of “the lesbian” as an embodied gendered, sexual, and political identity. In documenting their narratives, my aim is to add their voices and their experiences of struggle, survival, and accomplishment to the Canadian historical canon.

  • President's Letter to Munk Community
    November 12, 2019 Today, after an extensive international search, we have announced new leadership for the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto (see PDAD&C memo #24). I am delighted to welcome Michael Sabia back to the University as the School’s new Director. Throughout his career, he has made significant contributions to public policy, to business and to the world of investment. I know he will bring the same kind of engaged thought leadership to the School. Michael’s appointment gives me an opportunity to share with the community my thoughts on the evolution of the Munk School and its future. Reflecting on the complex issues facing our world today, there has never been a time when the role of the School has been more important – both within the University and beyond. We live in a time of substantial global instability and change. The relationship between the world's great powers – China and the United States – is undergoing profound transformation. The social and political consequences of rapid changes in media and digital technology are only just beginning to be understood. The imperatives of innovation, the changing world of work, and the shrinking middle class; the existential issue of climate change; the rise of populism and the future of liberal democracy – these are just a few of the challenges that our societies will face in the coming years. I believe the Munk School has an historic role to play in helping us understand what these changes mean for Canada and our place in a structurally transformed world, and for giving form and voice to made-in-Canada policy solutions to these challenges.
