The Canada Foundation for Innovation(CFI) is hosting a panel at the 2022 Congress of the Federation for Humanities and Social Sciences on May 16, 2022, from 3-4:30 (EDT) entitled, Demanding social justice for a more empathetic world. The panel, geared for young adults, will aim to answer the question: “What does social justice mean for you today, and how can research help advance it to forge the future you want?â€
Four Canadian experts will address this question by sharing their research in fields ranging from climate activism, social justice learning, queer and gender difference, and health and well-being.

La Fondation canadienne pour l’innovation (FCI) organise un panel dans le cadre du Congrès 2022 de la Fédération des sciences humaines, le 16 mai 2022, de 15 h à 16 h 30 (HAE), intitulé « Justice sociale : une revendication pour un monde plus empathique ».
Ce panel, destiné aux jeunes adultes, aura pour objectif de répondre à la question suivante : Que signifie la justice sociale pour vous aujourd’hui? Il s’agira également de déceler comment la recherche pourrait nous aider à progresser vers davantage de justice sociale pour forger l’avenir auquel nos jeunes contemporains aspirent.
Une animatrice et trois panélistes aborderont cette question en partageant le fruit de leurs travaux de recherche dans des domaines allant de l’activisme climatique à l’apprentissage de la justice sociale, en passant par la différence entre les genres, la santé et le bien-être.
The AGM will be held: Monday, May 16, 14:30 – 15:45 EST

With support from the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences International Keynote Speaker Support Fund
A leading researcher, practitioner, and activist-scholar dedicated to championing social justice and transforming the culture and climate of campuses and institutions of higher education, D-L Stewart has been an influential voice shaping the terms of debate throughout North America, including the Federation’s own Igniting Change report, which was so widely adopted last year as a call-to-action. Dr. Stewart’s keynote address will build on the sustained EDID conversations of both the Federation and the CSSHE and be of interest to those throughout the HSS and education communities. Drawing on Dr. Stewart’s established and ranging expertise, this presentation will critically examine institutional norms, and focus on moving beyond what ze refers to as “the language of appeasement†and rhetorical “Kool Aid†approaches to diversity and inclusion. The emphasis will instead be placed on disrupting the status quo and highlighting conscious pathways that lead to transformative action, equity and justice on our campuses.

The CSSHE and the Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences are committed to Reconciliation and EDID and have established records of working collaboratively with members of the broader educational community to anchor these principles into the life and work of our associations, institutions, and professional practices. Each member of this panel is a top researcher, practitioner, and institutional leader who has helped deepen recognition of the importance of EDID and the need for social justice throughout our institutional structures and educational systems. They will be asked to discuss ways we might increase BIPOC and LGBTQI representation in education; explore ways we can address systemic privilege in our institutions; and consciously work to disrupt the status quo and clear pathways to transformative action, equity and justice on our campuses.
