era21 end racism! activism for the 21st century

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA 17-20 NOVEMBER 2000

The 20th century has seen ample evidence of the destructiveness of racism. As we approach the 21st Century and the International Year for Mobilization against Racism and Racial Discrimination., not only is racism pervasive in Canadian life, but it is dynamic, adaptable and changeable, fitting the contours of contemporary social practices and dominant norms so that it is often invisible to those who reproduce it. The current challenge is both to counter the deleterious and egregious effects of hate-motivated racism and racist crimes, and also to offset the more subtle effects of racism as they occur in ordinary practices and social discourses. This challenge will be met in a major international conference that will bring together community groups, NGOs, academics, policy makers and practitioners, to re-think concepts, practices and strategies for eliminating racism in the new millennium. era21 is a 3-day working forum designed to sharpen the tools for anti-racism practice in the 21st century. Please check the web site for further information as it becomes available: http://www.era21.net

NEW RESOURCES

METADATABASE

The CERIS Metadatabase (now accessible on the CERIS Website) was launched at a luncheon attended by about 25 people on January 27, 2000. Thanks to Canadian Heritage for their funding support and to Ted Richmond, Laura Simich and Solomon Wong for their work on the project. The metadatabase is being considered as a prototype by colleagues at the other centres of excellence.

DATA SETS AND LICENSING

CERIS has now received some of the 1996 Census data being provided free to the four centres of excellence. These data will be publicized in the newsletter and they will be

available to authorized affiliates through the website. They include information that details the social and economic charcteristics of ethno-racial groups in the Toronto metropolitan area and that specifies the residential locations of several ethno-racial groups at a detailed geographical scale.

We have been notified that we will receive updates for the administrative databases known as IMDB and LIDS from Citizenship and Immigration Canada in the spring.

Licenses have been negotiated governing the use of the various datasets donated to CERIS by Statistics Canada and Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

WORKSHOPS PLANNED - FEEDBACK NEEDED

The data committee is considering two workshops for the spring. We are polling faculty, students, and community partners to ascertain the interest in a workshop that will introduce the administrative databases. The workshop would be held in April. A second workshop introducing the 1996 Census data that we are now receiving is under consideration for May, but a final decision will only be made once we obtain more of the data.

If you have questions or comments about the activities of the data committee, contact Valerie Preston by phone 416 736-5107, fax 416 736-5988, email vpreston@yorku.ca
