COVID-19, School, and Marginalization

August 5, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

It’s August and for those of us with children, it’s the time we start thinking about “back to school”. This year, “back to school” isn’t the same; it comes with many more concerns and questions than usual. I imagine school boards and districts around the world are handling these in a …

Effective Allyship

July 8, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

As the weather gets warmer and we step into summer, I've noticed a change in my spirit. A lightness. It also has something to do with lifted COVID restrictions.  And, as if on cue with the weather, I have noticed that I'm slipping back into former COVID habits - like not washing my hands right …

Masks: what they can tell us about connection

May 27, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I’ve been thinking about masks this past week. Specifically, wearing them or not wearing them. I have 3 masks that have been made for me. I like the idea of wearing them. But I find I don’t wear them often. Why? It seem like such a simple thing. I had to think about it. I’m not out …

May 13, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Just in case the need for race*-based stats is a new conversation to you, it’s not just about COVI-19. COVID-19 is just the latest reason to beat the drum. Laurie Townshend (filmmaker, photographer and teacher) has a gripping installation up as part of Toronto’s Scotiabank Contact photography …

Who are we seeing? Who are we missing?

April 15, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

On a bike ride over the weekend, we came across this poster. At first glance, without a proper look, it’s a feel-good gesture: our health care workers are not only working hard for all of us, but are taking risks every day as they do so. But look closer. What do you see? Who do you …

COVID-19, physical distancing & assumptions

March 25, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Last week I wrote about social vs physical distancing. This week I’m asking you to think about the ways assumptions and pre-judgment are sneaking into your actions and feelings during this pandemic. When we are stressed, or afraid, we tend to default to what we know. The impact of fear I’ve …

COVID-19, Connection, and Community

March 17, 2020 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Yesterday, a friend of mine asked a great question: “Why are we calling it social distancing when we are physically distancing ourselves?” Hmmm.... So I looked it up and here is what I found in an article in The Atlantic. The CDC issued guidelines which include social distancing, which is: “a …
