Can homelessness happen to anyone? Don't believe the hype
Full text linkIs homelessness such a fairly random event that it could happen to anyone, as it is often claimed? Suzanne Fitzpatrick explains why this is not a valid claim, and that repeating it could distract us from focusing on causes that may be identifiable, and possibly preventable

Controlling Homeless Populations?:The Case of Congregate Hostels and Shelters
No full textThis chapter explores social control measures within the context of homelessness policy and practice, focusing on the utilisation of congregate accommodation models as a response to homelessness. Drawing upon an international literature base, a five-level social control typology is applied to hostels and shelters, with the aim of evaluating their nature, outcomes, and ethical implications. The findings indicate that the forms of social control commonly employed in congregate environments may inadvertently perpetuate homelessness and lead to detrimental consequences for people living there. This analysis sheds light on the negative impacts of hostel and shelters, thus adding to existing concerns about the appropriateness of their use in progressive homelessness policies

COVID-19 and Homelessness in Great Britain:Building Back Better?
No full textThis chapter examines the COVID-19 pandemic response to homelessness in Great Britain (GB), identifying areas of convergence and divergence between the GB nations over the course of the crisis. In particular, the chapter considers the extent to which both progressive and potentially problematic policies and practices emerged and are likely to endure. This critical reflection is informed by humanitarian and development literatures on crises recovery trajectories, employing a three-phase framework that distinguishes between urgent humanitarian relief, post-crisis stabilisation, and longer-term development. The chapter draws conclusions only a few months into the development phase of the pandemic recovery, yet there are strong indicators of the extent to which the GB nations are likely to ‘Build Back Better’

TITLE: Union Organizing in the Northern Canadian Mining Industry
AUTHOR: Mason Fitzpatrick, B.A. (Wilfrid Laurier University)
SUPERVISOR: Dr. Suzanne Mills
NUMBER OF PAGES: 75Mining was historically a highly unionized sector, including in the Canadian north. From
the 1960s to the 1990s, there was near complete union coverage in mines in the northern
territories, significantly increasing the share of wealth and political power claimed by northern
mining workers. Today, only two of ten producing mines are unionized: the Ekati diamond mine in Northwest Territories (Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC)) and the Mary River Mine in Nunavut (International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE)). Drawing on archival research, document analysis, remediation site visits and interviews with Indigenous organizations, union organizers, servicing staff and officials, this paper explores the decline of unions in northern mining and pathways to revitalization. Shifts in labour practices such as the use of long-distance commuting, subdecontracting, Impact and Benefits Agreements (IBAs) and the shift to smaller, more highly skilled workforces have created a more challenging organizing environment. These external challenges are compounded by internal union issues, including not prioritizing northern organizing and failing to build meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities and governments. Potential strategic and shifts include targeting the remediation phase of mines and catering and housekeeping workers to gain a foothold in the sector, locating choke points in the fly-in fly-out production process, building coalitions with First Nations and investing in offices and permanent organizing staff in northern cities.ThesisMaster of Arts (MA)From the 1960s to 1990s, most mines in Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories
were unionized. Since the collapse transformation of the industry in the 1990s, unions have been significantly weakened and only two of ten currently producing northern mines are unionized. Shifts in the spatial organization of mining have created challenges to union organizing that have been metastasised by union prioritization and strategy. Drawing on interviews with key informants from labour unions, First Nations and government organizations, this paper produces a historical account of union organizing in the mining industry, appraises current structural and strategic challenges to organizing and identifies organizing opportunities
The Hothouse Archives
No full textThe ICI Berlin in conjunction with the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science is pleased to announce an exhibition by visual artist and theorist Suzanne Anker. The Hothouse Archives brings together two groups of photographs that picture the blurring of boundaries between nature and culture. The first suite of pictures, ‘Coral Seed Bank’ (2007) capture fragments of brain corals suspended in tanks located at the Mote Marine Laboratory at Summerland Key, Florida. The morphology of coral, similar to the convolutions in the brain, create vital connections between all parts of the organism. The vivid colors are a natural wonder, rendering this stationary carnivore as a masquerading plant. In the second suite of photographs, ‘Laboratory Life’ several layers of images are superimposed on top of one another in the form of a palimpsest. Images garnered from scientific laboratories form the technological base layer. An image of a transparent garden is then transferred as a top layer. The chance provoke questions concerning our enchantment with both nature and technology.
