Individual and Collective Learning in Community Organizing in Response to the Mimico-by-the-Lake Secondary Plan
Brown Bag Seminar with student Abbe Edelson
Time:
Tuesday, February 19 - 4:00 - 5:00 PM
Location: OISE, Room 12-252
My qualitative methodology employs in-depth interviews and selective ethnographic and participant observation (including researcher involvement) in, for example, City-hosted community meetings and public consultations.
I discuss preliminary findings from initial data collected from approximately 20 interviews with activists within the Mimico community. These explore the ways that community-based planning networks-focusing on responding to the urban planning process within Mimico-are formed, shaped, and reshaped as they evolve and grow. I will look at how issues of identity and social relations-e.g., class, gender, and race-contribute to the development of such networks.
I am particularly interested in forms of learning particular to the process of coalition and network activities as people engage with each other and each other's groups, learn about their commonalities and differences, and engage in collaboration, negotiation, and, sometimes, dissipation and disassociation.
