OSI at ISIRC 2022

For ISIRC 2022, the Office of Social Innovation (OSI) at Toronto Metropolitan University will be hosting a stream on Conceptualizing and Practicing Activism in Social Innovation. With this stream, we are interested in exploring and troubling an understanding of social innovation as connected to the pursuit of social justice through activism. We define social justice as a process and a goal, which seeks the full and equitable participation of all in a mutually shaped society.

We are looking beyond defining and framing social innovation as individualized “virtuous citizenry” (Slee et al., 2013), and instead invites the questions, struggles, and experiences of conceptualizing and practicing social innovation as an endeavour of collective action.
