Decolonizing and Transforming the Engagement of Indigenous and Black People Within Municipal Planning – Lessons Learned
In this paper, we present insights about the process and outcomes of an initiative designed to engage municipal staff with Black and Indigenous community members to develop a decolonial framework for community engagement within a mid-sized municipality in Southern Ontario, Canada. Grounded in the framework of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing) the project aimed to disrupt dominant Western mental models, envision improved power-sharing in municipal urba…
Toward inclusive energy futures
This reflection outlines the development of a Terms of Reference (ToR) for equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in a 6-year energy transitions research project spanning 11 institutions and involving 100 researchers across science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), social science, and humanities disciplines. This multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional project involves partnerships with industry and civil society organizations, …
Embracing emergence
From Capture to Conversion
Recent efforts to mitigate atmospheric carbon levels have spurred advancements in carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture, conversion, and utilization (CCCU) technologies, which some consider critical infrastructure for the global energy transition and others view as delaying more ambitious climate policy. This article reviews research on CCS and CCCU—described by some as carbon management technologies (CMT)—asking how scholars and de…
Dismantling White Privilege
On August 12, 2017, in Charlottesville, Virginia, alt-right/White supremacy groups and Black Lives Matter (BLM) supporters came face-to-face regarding what to do about public monuments that celebrate key figures from slavery and the Jim Crow era. White supremacists and White nationalists did not hide their racist ideologies as they demanded that their privileged place in history not be erased. The BLM movement, which challenges state-sanctioned a…
Diverse environmentalism and inclusivity in Toronto’s Green Economy
Green economy and green jobs continue to be contested discourses that privilege stakeholders, such as green businesses and policy makers. However, less consideration has been given to how those seeking green economy employment contribute to the environmental knowledge about the green economy and green jobs. As part of the regard for social inclusion in the green economy, scholars and policy makers have given less consideration to how marginalized…
Environmental justice in the environmental non‐governmental organization landscape of Toronto (Canada)
Key Messages Energy policy in Toronto needs to be sensitive to residents' different social and economic positions. The study's findings highlight the extent to which ENGOs are adopting environmental justice in Toronto. In Toronto's neoliberal context, ENGOs have a bridging role between the state and communities
Out of our inner city backyards
Energy Solutions, Neo-Liberalism, and Social Diversity in Toronto, Canada
In response to the dominance of green capitalist discourses in Canada's environmental movement, in this paper, we argue that strategies to improve energy policy must also provide mechanisms to address social conflicts and social disparities. Environmental justice is proposed as an alternative to mainstream environmentalism, one that seeks to address systemic social and spatial exclusion encountered by many racialized immigrants in Toronto as a re…
Claiming Space
Claiming Space: Racialization in Canadian Cities critically examines the various ways in which Canadian cities continue to be racialized despite objective evidence of racial diversity and the dominant ideology of multiculturalism. Contributors consider how spatial conditions in Canadian cities are simultaneously part of, and influenced by, racial domination and racial resistance. Reflecting on the ways in which race is systematically hidden withi…
Spatiality and Environmental Justice in Parkdale (Toronto)
As part of the project to name environmental injustices in Canada, this article explores the significance of a critical analysis of social space to understand environmental justice problems in an urban Canadian community. Environmental injustices that impact on particular geographical locations have a readily apparent, fixed spatial aspect. However, I argue that a broader view to the politics of how space is produced and reproduced is necessary t…
