Students can be agents of change: Talking about activism in universities with Jade Ho

This week on rabble radio, labour reporter Gabriela Calugay-Casuga sits down with Jade Ho, a labour studies instructor at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. The two discuss what is possible for university students when they are given opportunities to learn about –and get involved with– social justice and labour issues in their own communities.

Yi Chien Jade Ho 何宜謙 is a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Education at SFU. Jade also teaches various courses in the Faculty of Education, Labour Studies, and Global Asia. Outside of academia, she has been an housing justice and labour organizer in Vancouver. Her doctoral work centers on developing a radical pedagogy of place through the lens of decolonization in cross-cultural contexts and the connection between place, land and identity in marginalized communities in Taiwan and in Vancouver.
