Herongate: How the Financialization of the Rental Market has Affected Affordable Housing in Ottawa
Created by: Yoyo Chan, Cassandra Racicot, Jenevah Clarke, Aidan Payne, Cindy Yu, Molly Burke, Mohammed Delas and Hannah Braha.
This podcast was created by fourth-year students in the SOCI4170 at Carleton University. Supervised by Joshua Hawley and Facilitated by Professor Deborah Conners, this class is premised on 'community engagement' to create advocacy pieces about certain social issues. Influenced by the Herongate Tenant Coalition (HTC) in Ottawa, the podcast's goal is to simplify the financialization of the rental market, to expose the tactics used by financialised landlords. These landlords use strategies such as demoviction, squeezing and neglect of repairs to gentrify communities. Using the Herongate neighbourhood as a core example, the podcast hopes to contribute to the community of affordable housing advocates, to reach tenants that are unaware of these tactics and to empower them with knowledge if they have to face these landlords. #Beagoodneighbour#collectiveaction

Analyzing How the Ktunaxa Nations Case Might Have Been More Successful Using the Peoplehood Framework By Sampavy Mussa and Hannah Braha
Created by Sumaya Mussa and Hannah Braha
We have created this podcast in light of our religious freedom course at Carleton University, taught by Dr Melanie Adrian. We created this podcast as a thought piece to discuss larger issues within the Canadian Legal system, addressing aboriginal beliefs and their interpretation within our courts. Inspired by the 2017 Supreme Court Ktunaxa case, we offer a resolution for possibly changing the outcome of future cases which deal with the object of belief and religious freedom.
After having the pleasure and opportunity to speak with Doctor Nicholas Shrubsole on his novel “What Has No Place, Remains: The Challenges for Indigenous Religious Freedom in Canada Today”, we realised that unless the legal system can be decolonized, and a fundamental change of the land-person relationship can occur, moving forward for cases such as this, the protection of religious freedom is more fruitful under the peoplehood framework.

Influenced by SOCI3210 at Carleton University, we are three students who discuss women's rights in Nepal, the podcast is informed by 5 interviews, completed by the class throughout the term. The women interviewed are activists in their communities. To discuss the situation of Women's Rights in Nepal, we want to share the experiences of these women. We hope that this podcast will allow any listener's the opportunity to learn more about the culture and to expand their knowledge on how volunteers and organizations going into the country can sustainably fund projects within various communities.
