IDEAS THAT MATTER HUB

Ideas that Matter was a child of the pandemic when we decided to prototype smaller online events in hopes that we could host a Virtual Toronto Summer Institute (VTSI). We started in 2020, and by 2021, we culminated in hosting a Virtual Summer Institute over three days.

Having recovered, many wonderful ideas are worth sharing, so we are reinitiating the Ideas that Matter series here in 2023. Co-sponsored by Inclusion Press and the Marsha Forest Centre, the Hub also links to the earlier Ideas that Matter sessions and the Virtual TSI 2021. Enjoy these exceptional contributions that only mature but never ‘date’ over time.
