This lecture explores how legislators and regulators have remained silent on issues of structural injustice, failing to address deeply embedded systemic inequities that have long disadvantaged low-income communities worldwide. Structural injustice arises in contexts where power, information, and economic asymmetries enable certain actors to dominate or exploit others—while the state, through inaction or neglect, allows these injustices to persist.

Prisons are many things. Among these, they are places of work for the tens of thousands of human beings imprisoned there. Like others, these people report for work in a variety of roles: kitchens, maintenance work, food processing, clerical jobs, and manufacturing. Unlike others, they do so without being recognized as employees and without the basic legal protections usually afforded to workers. Among other impacts, this can mean working in problematic conditions for meagre pay.
Event includes a panel discussion with employers from both public and private practise areas in Toronto, Coffee Chats with induvial employers, and a Closing Reception to network.
Registration deadline is Sunday the 30th of March.
