CARDUS
We often talk about work-life balance. But women find their lives filled with far more balancing acts than just this (perhaps false) dichotomy.
We’ve gathered a panel of women with various family, work, and community experiences to speak into the questions women ask themselves: For whom do I act? Why do I want what I want? Are our institutions built with me in mind? How do institutions form my aspirations? How do I contribute to my world?
This International Women’s Day, join us for a conversation about the unique opportunities and challenges women face when navigating the institutions of which they’re a part. We’ll explore relationships with the families women are born into, the family they may choose to make, the workplace, civil society, and communities.
Join us May 20 for the first ever Cardus Coffeehouse. We’ll be hosting a conversation based on Geoff Cameron’s recently published a book, “Send Them Here” on how the US and Canada have led the world in refugee resettlement, and how faith-based organizations played an essential role in this key aspect of global refugee protection.
Joining the virtual table for conversation are Michael Casasola of the UNHCR, Shakeel Hirji of Focus Humanitarian Assistance, Doreen Katto of Matthew House Ottawa, and Belle Jarniewski of the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada. Fr. Dcn. Andrew Bennett will moderate.
This virtual book launch and discussion is a live event and will not be recorded, so we hope you will join us for some rich conversation. Attendees will have the option to join with cameras on, and we will have space for questions from attendees at the end.
It was a pleasure to have many of you join us for the information session. We look forward to meeting the Fellows who will be joining other young leaders from across Canada to explore the relevance and resources of the Christian faith for their vocations and for public life. This program brings value to professional development, and also strengthens Christian leadership skills.
