“…For many shelters, finances are precarious due to the lack of stable core funding, longstanding reliance on private donations to operate, inflexible spending and reporting requirements from funders, and the inability to reinvest in aging infrastructure (Harris et al, 2014). With fewer clients accessing services, there was fear about how this could impact future-year funding (Clément, 2019;Kay, 2017).…”

Domestic violence shelters present a unique context within the congregate living sector in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shelters supporting women during the pandemic had to change service delivery models to include housing women in hotels to adhere to government restrictions and ensure women, and their children, were not homeless. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of hotel use as alternative housing for women experiencing domestic violence during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, Canada. We used interpretive description methodology, including in-depth interviews with 8 women using shelter services, 26 shelter workers and 5 focus groups with 24 executive directors of women’s shelters and other organizations who serve women who have experienced domestic violence. We identified and explored three main tensions in housing women at hotels compared to shelters: 1) autonomy/independence versus support, 2) a better option, the only option, and/or a safety concern, and 3) adequacy of hotels as housing. Drawbacks and benefits of the use of hotels as housing for women in the context of domestic violence are explored and recommendations are highlighted.

“…Political advocacy groups can take the form of state‐grantee non‐profit groups such as NGOs (Clément, 2017; 2019; Corrigall‐Brown & Ho, 2019), well‐funded political groups organized around a set of interests or industries (Burris, 2001; Carroll, 2017; Preston, 2017; Walker & Rea, 2014), groups that have been formed to push a specific ideological perspective (Carroll et al, 2018), or more research‐driven enterprises such as think tanks (McLevey, 2015; Medvetz, 2012). Young & Everitt (2004) define advocacy groups as “any organization that seeks to influence government policy, but not to govern” (p. 5).…”

Political advocacy groups have a quiet role in much of the analysis of Indigenous‐settler relations, reconciliation, and ongoing settler colonialism. Using a data set of 407 texts covering a range of 21 years (1998‐2019), we conducted a content analysis on the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), a well‐known ‘taxpayer’ group that has long engaged in hostile analysis of First Nations. We describe the various themes that the CTF writes about in relation to Indigenous peoples, discuss the temporal changes in how the CTF discusses policy, and offer theoretical analysis that demonstrates how neoliberal political advocacy groups have looked to weaken and attack the position of Indigenous nations in relation to settler colonial Canada.

“…For example, since the 1970s, funding to the women's sector in British Columbia (BC) consistently receives a majority of public funding in the province. However, funding at times has either remained the same or shrunk based on who is in power rather than demonstrated need for services (Clement, 2019).…”

Social Work Practice, Data, Time and Biopolitics: Looking at Short-Term RFPs in Contemporary Community Practice in a Canadian Context

My study uses Discourse Analysis (Garrity, 2007; Jäger, 2004) to read short-term Request for Proposals (RFPs) to study the relationship between linear temporality, community work and how governments produce vulnerable subjects through data. In particular, I am interested in the ways that linear time serves as a backdrop facilitating the datafication (Dijk, 2014) of practice, and the shift from the relational to the informational in social work practice (Parton, 2008). To get a sense of how linear time and the use of data is potentially implicated in the construction of knowable and governable subjects, I utilize a conceptual framework of Biopower (Cruikshank, 1999;Million, 2013). This study hopes to contribute to relevant social work and communications literatures by focusing on data, subjectivity, linear time as a tool of social control and contemporary social work practice.There are many people who I would like to thank in helping me formulate, write and edit this essay. I would like to thank Dr. Sarah Todd for her supervision, for always finding time to meet with me, for providing insightful comments and advising me on theoretical matters. I would also like to thank Dr. Sandra Robinson for her supervision, for making time to talk about my project and for her insightful comments and reading suggestions. I would like to thank my friends who have listened to me go on and on about my topic for over a year now. I would like to thank my friend, Perry, a dedicated study partner and smart reader of theory. I also want to thank my partner, Connor, who has patiently listened to me complain about social work the most out of anyone I know and for encouraging me to continue with this essay when it might have been easier not to.
