The Canadian housing crisis is more than a financial challenge; it's a societal concern with deep-seated roots.

For this Big Thinking Podcast episode, Gabriel Miller is joined by Nemoy Lewis, Assistant Professor at the Toronto Metropolitan University to discuss the Canadian housing crisis.

 Durant ces dernières années, l'IA a été au centre de nombreux débats et discussions, notamment dans le monde académique.

Historically, most recessions have been described as being "he-cessions"; most jobs lost were male dominated industries, and the women led sectors shortly followed.
When the Covid-19 pandemic started, women's employment was hit especially hard by the economic slow down that followed, causing some to call it a "she-cession." But what exactly does the term mean, why did it happen, and what does it tell us about the future of our economy? 
For this Big Thinking Podcast episode, our host Gabriel Miller is joined by Armine Yalnizyan, the Canadian economist and writer who helped coin the term to discuss the she-cession and the broader impacts of economics crises on women.

In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its First Report which documented the experiences of more than 6,000 witnesses who survived living in residential schools as students.

For this Big Thinking Podcast episode, our host Gabriel Miller is joined by Crystal Fraser, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta, to discuss Reconciliation as an everyday practice.
