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

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
