Events Description

 

Join Koffler Arts for an insightful talk with Dr. Carolyn Whitzman, housing and social policy researcher, as she explores how marginalized communities navigate and shape urban spaces—offering a lens through which to deepen our understanding of Tracey Snelling’s INTERGALACTIC PLANETARY and its reflections on place and identity.

Dr. Carolyn Whitzman is an Adjunct Professor and Senior Housing Researcher at University of Toronto’s School of Cities, undertaking research on scaling up affordable and non market housing supply. She has worked as an expert advisor to UBC’s Housing Assessment Resource Tools (HART) project, which developed standardized best practices for analyzing housing needs, using government land for non market housing, and nonmarket property acquisition, all of which has influenced federal policy. Carolyn is the author, co-author or lead editor of six books, including Home Truths: Fixing Canada’s Housing Crisis (2024) and Clara at the Door with a Revolver (2023). She has provided expertise to national, state/provincial and local governments, UN Women, UN Habitat, and private and non-profit organizations.
