Summary
Report
March 30, 2005 - Study To Assess Impact of Government Restructuring On Vulnerable:
How is the restructuring of B.C.'s public service affecting the province's most vulnerable citizens? That's the focus of a five-year, $1 million Community-University Research Alliances (CURA) project directed by CCPA'S Seth Klein and SFU's Dr. Marjorie Griffin Cohen. Their research team includes UVic's Dr. Marge Reitsma-Street from the Studies in Policy and Practice program and Bruce Wallace from the Vancouver Island Public Interest Research Group.
"We'll be examining how the restructuring of government policies and funding is affecting communities in terms of what kind of welfare, health and employment services they will be able to offer," she says. The CURA project, a partnership between SFU and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, is funded through the Social Services and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and was one of several announced today in Vancouver. Reitsma-Street recently authored a paper for a provincial social workers conference last month on the imposition of time limits on welfare benefits in B.C., saying that such limits "foster contorted, complicated judgments about the deservedness of others."
January 26, 2005 - Marge Reitsma-Street wins the University of Victoria Community Leadership Award at the Victoria Leadership Awards Presentation held at the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort
Dr. Marge Reitsam-Street is a Professor of Social Policy and Social Work in the Faculty of Human and Social Development at the University of Victoria. The purpose of her work is to understand inequality, to take a stand on social justice issues, and to create innovative local policies and program. Her scholarship is internationally respected in the areas of poverty, social justice, unpaid work of women and housing. Her work has contributed to a broader understanding of poverty and inequality. As a result, these issues are more firmly on the public and political agenda as evidenced by municipalities creating by-laws that address poverty through the provision of more affordable housing. The entire Capital Regional has benefited from Marge's leadership.
January 19, 2005 - ADDICTIONS COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH WORKSHOP: Community-based researchers learned a great deal about the links between health and housing during a three year collaborative project with low income women in Vancouver’s downtown eastside. Susan Boyd, UVic associate professor and addictions researcher, will share the rewards, challenges and lessons learned from the collaboration during a workshop co-sponsored by UVic’s Centre for Addictions Research-BC. Boyd explains: “Too often, researchers have descended on the neighbourhood, conducted their research from the top-down, and fled. There have been no benefits to the ‘researched,’ although there has been considerable benefit, career-wise, for the researchers. The Health and Home Project was constructed to tell a different story. ”The workshop is part of the series “Researching for Change,” organized by Vancouver Island Public Interest Research Group to focus on the work of community-based researchers. All workshops are free and open to the public. For more information on the series contact VIPIRG at 472-4386, email research@viperg.ca or visit www.viperg.ca

October 7, 2004 From Witches to Crack Moms: Women, Drug Law and Policy by Susan Boyd
Drug policy researcher Dr. Susan Boyd will read from her new book, From Witches to Crack Moms, in which she critiques drug laws and policies and their impact on women in the United States, while illuminating the similarities and differences in Britain and Canada. Her book illustrates how punitive drug laws inform and shape social service and medical policy and practice, and how prisons, social services, medical treatment, maternity care, drug treatment, and drug court policy and practice have been restructured as a result of the war on drugs. Boyd's research interests include women in conflict with the law, drug law and policy, reproductive autonomy, and research methodology. She is a community activist who works with harm reduction and drug user groups. For more information, please call the Centre for Addictions Research of BC at (250) 472-5305 or visit http://www.carbc.uvic.ca/
"From Witches to Crack Moms: Women, Drug Law and Policy"
July 20, 2004 - UVic Drug Policy Researcher Calls For an End to the War on Drugs
"Just like witches of old, women suspected of using illegal drugs today are persecuted and punished," says Dr. Susan Boyd, a University of Victoria drug policy researcher. "That's because our drug laws and policies are racialized, class-biased, and gendered." In her new book, From Witches to Crack Moms, Boyd critiques drug laws and policies and their impact on women in the United States, while illuminating the similarities and differences in Britain and Canada. She shows how punitive drug laws inform and shape social service and medical policy and practice, and how prisons, social services, medical treatment, maternity care, drug treatment, and drug court policy and practice have been restructured as a result of the war on drugs. "Social justice, rather than criminal justice, should be our goal," says Boyd. "Ending the war on drugs is one strategy we can use to achieve it." Boyd will be reading from her book on Tuesday, July 20, at 7 p.m. at the Interurban on 9 East Hastings Street in Vancouver. The reading is free and organized with the help of the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users. For more information call (250) 721-8203.
