Author Talk - Dr Sarah Schulman and Gord Tulloch

We will host an author talk with Dr. Sarah Schulman and Gord Tulloch who wrote the book "The Trampoline Effect: Redesigning our Social Safety Nets".

This book addresses the challenges and shortfalls of our social welfare systems and how to reshape a giant ecosystem with engrained approaches, habitual reactions and vested interests. The authors suggest going small. They articulate a series of twelve strategies, or “stretches,” that will enable organizations to reach in new directions. Things like attending to beauty, purpose, and identity, and designing roles that activate community capacity and bridge people to it. The aggregate of those efforts across time and contexts, they argue, can lead to a gradual repurposing of the social safety net.

The talk will be live on Facebook - please like and follow our CoqLibrary page to watch the live author talk.
