After several years in development, I am deeply honoured to announce the launch of the International Journal on Homelessness - ijoh.ca

We seek to be a platform for truly global knowledge exchange on preventing and ending homelessness locally and globally. Image
We value the vital contributions of existing journals on housing and homelessness and look to compliment the work with our values of excellent scholarship, international knowledge sharing, and making space for inclusion of scholarship from the Global South.
To live out these values we are allowing reviews to take place from beginning through to acceptance in as many languages as possible, currently accepting manuscripts in English, French, Portuguese, Farsi, Japanese, Spanish, and Arabic.
If you want to contribute to the journal, you can find the call for papers at ijoh.ca and can contact me with any questions at ijoh@uwo.ca

A special thanks to @IGHomelessness and @WesternU Libraries for supporting the work.

Welcome back @WesternU students to another semester that will go by faster than you can imagine! Here are my three top tips as a Western grad and now Western prof for success this term:
1/4
1) Make your health and well-being your number one priority. 99 times out of 100 when I see great students struggle academically it is because of challenges outside of the classroom. Check out all the great supports over at uwo.ca/health/
2/4
2) Read ahead or start an assignment now. New semesters come with new motivation so best to tap into that energy before the work all piles up at the same time. Workloads don't balance across the term but you can organize yourself to spread it out somewhat.

The Government of Ontario removing the child benefit from refugee families is a bad policy approach. This WILL increase homelessness and delay successful settlement. Here's why:

THREAD 1/5
I'm currently wrapping up a research study exploring pathways of refugee families into emergency shelters. We interviewed families in shelters in London and Toronto. We wanted to understand how they ended up in shelter and if this could be prevented.
What we learned is that refugee families face administrative/bureaucratic barriers to accessing resources and in the meantime have no choice but to go to shelter. Access to income was one of the main challenges, but until now there have been opportunities.
