Moving Forward, Giving Back: A new book edited by Dr. Jim Silver
Moving Forward, Giving Back
looks at the positive effects innovative educational initiatives can
have on the lives of Aboriginal people who want to further their education as adults. All too often their efforts are confounded by ongoing challenges that are due to
the long term consequences of colonialism and racialized poverty. These
programs are shown to have the power to be successful and to have
transformative effects on the lives of these men and women, their
families and the community.Dr. Silver, book editor, is Professor and Chair of the Department of Urban and Inner-City Studies. His research and publishing are focused on inner-city, poverty-related and community development issues. He is a past recipient of UWinnipeg’s Robson Award for Excellence in Teaching, the Atchison Award for Community Service, the Joe Zuken Citizen Activist Award, and was the 2007 recipient of the Erica and Arnold Rogers Award for Excellence in Research.
