In the context of the Berlin Internship Seminar: Working Cultures, Urban Cultures, we are proud to welcome Dr. Shana Almeida, Assistant Professor in the School of Professional Communication at Toronto Metropolitan University, for the Berlin launch of her book Toronto the Good?: Negotiating Race in the Diverse City. The book brings together Almeida’s critical insights as a former political staff member along with her years of in-depth research on diversity in Toronto to offer a compelling case to rethink how we understand diversity and racial inclusion in Toronto and beyond. Initiated in a local context, Toronto the Good? critically contributes to global discussions on diversity, race, democracy, political participation, and power.
