 ­­­­­­­lecture in the 9I��������� School of Social Work's Transforming Social W
 ork Speaker Series.  This series stems from numerous calls to action withi
 n our profession and broader society. Recognition of social work’s colonia
 l roots requires reflecting on our past and present to determine how as a

 eak: How Racism Thrives Through Inclusion'\n\nDr. Shana Almeida is an Assi

 meida spearheaded several City-wide policy initiatives in the areas of ant
 i-racism\, equity\, immigration\, employment\, recreation\, public health\
 , poverty\, and housing. Dr. Almeida completed her Ph.D. in Social Work at
  York University in Toronto (2016). Her doctoral thesis\, an exploration o
 f how race is reproduced through “diversity” discourse in the City of Toro
 nto\, provides the foundation for her forthcoming book Toronto the Good? N
 egotiating Race in the Diverse City\, with University of Toronto Press. Th
 e book uniquely attends to what diversity does\, to remake the City of Tor
 onto as a beacon of democracy\, racial inclusion\, and progress. Initiated
  in a local context\, the book critically contributes to global debates on
  the roles of racial inclusion\, representation and political participatio
 n in advancing anti-racism and social justice. Dr. Almeida has been invite

 erlin\, Frankfurt\, London\, and Grahamstown\, South Africa.\n\nRegister i
