Interdisciplinary Research Network on Discrimination and Inclusion

The Interdisciplinary Research Network on Discrimination and Inclusion was established in the Spring 2013 on the initiative of Colleen Sheppard, past Director of the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, in the face of a growing interest for interdisciplinary dialogue on critical perspectives on discrimination, diversity and inclusion. The Network gathers researchers, practitioners as well as collaborators from community-based organizations. Its objectives are to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and reflection on discrimination and inclusion, to share research during local and international workshops, and to promote community-university collaborative research initiatives.

Members鈥� research projects and practices span a wide range of themes, including, for example, systemic and preventive remedies in anti-discrimination litigation, comparative approaches to discrimination, educational initiatives regarding equity and diversity, diversity and leadership in public and private organizations, and the legal profession, ethno-cultural discrimination against immigrant communities, complexities of identity and identity performance, racial and social profiling, and socio-economic inequality and discrimination.

Discrimination Stories: Exclusion, Law, and Everyday Life by Colleen Sheppard

Colleen Sheppard -听听 (Irwin Law, 2021).

Abstract:听Despite growing societal and media attention to problems of discrimination in Canadian society, legal concepts in equality and anti-discrimination law are not widely understood.听Discrimination Stories: Exclusion, Law, and Everyday Life听explores diverse legal cases brought before courts and human rights tribunals to help us understand the development of anti-discrimination law in Canada. The cases take us into 鈥� and teach us about 鈥� the concrete realities of inequality in everyday life. They portray the struggles of individuals, families, and communities seeking justice and legal remedies for the harms of discrimination. The cases also reveal both the strengths and limits of anti-discrimination law. They show that equality in our human relations cannot be crafted exclusively by courts or tribunals, despite their significance and importance. Drawing on the complexity and power of discrimination stories, this book is designed to expand our collective knowledge of the evolving legal concepts at the heart of equality law.
