dc.description(recording available at youtube link above) This webinar opened the dialogue on ethnocultural co-operatives (specifically reflecting on examples across Canada and the US) and the place of these co-ops in the larger society. The two featured speakers are both undertaking research as part of the Measuring the Co-operative Difference Research Network: Jo-Anne Lee of the University of Victoria and Jessica Gordon-Nembhard of John Jay College, affiliated with the City University of New York. Jo-Anne Lee examined how researchers have written about cooperatives and the absences in our understandings of co-operatives in Canadian society using the Japanese Fishing Cooperatives on the West Coast as a case study. Co-operatives play many different roles in nation formation. As social entities, co-operatives are bound to reflect existing power relations in the larger society including those of race, gender, class and colonialism. In addition, Jo-Anne explored a couple of key questions: -How can we understand the relative absence of knowledge about "ethnic" cooperatives? -How has this lacunae affected our knowledge and understanding of cooperatives? Jessica Gordon-Nembhard provided a description of co-ops emerging in African American contexts in the US. Through her discussion of the history and examples, you can better understand how co-operatives emerged in response to the social context, race relations and people living on the margins.Meet the featured speakers: Dr. Jo-Anne Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Women's Studies at the University of Victoria.
