He has developed and managed several non-profit youth programs centred on education and liberatory practices for Black youth. As the co-founder of Heartbase, he offers programs that utilize the arts, music, and culture as methods of liberation and critical healing for Black youth. Currently, Ken serves as a Coordinator and Student Case Manager in the Office of Student Care at Toronto Metropolitan University. He is also pursuing a PhD in Social Work at 快播视频, where his research examines the intersection of wellbeing, education, and race. Ken's work critically analyzes how neoliberal wellbeing discourses and systemic messages impact Black youth and explores their resistance through creative expressions and forms of radical wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"modal-footer\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-secondary\" data-dismiss=\"modal\">Close<\/button>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"card\"><div class=\"row no-gutters d-flex align-items-center\">\n  <div class=\"col-4\">\n    \n    \n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/socialwork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/473\/2021\/09\/k-garang-150x150.jpg\" class=\"rounded-left w-100\" alt=\"Photo of Kuir \u00eb Garang\" \/>\n    \n <\/div>\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"col-8\">\n  \n    <div class=\"p-lg-4 p-4 p-md-2 d-flex align-items-center\">\n      \n      <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-link p-0 text-left text-truncate text-wrap\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"#student10348\">Kuir \u00eb Garang<\/button>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- Modal -->\n<div class=\"modal fade\" id=\"student10348\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-labelledby=\"student10348\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n  <div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered\">\n    <div class=\"modal-content\">\n      <div class=\"modal-header\">\n        <span class=\"h5 modal-title\" id=\"student10348Label\">Kuir \u00eb Garang<\/span>\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close\">\n          <span aria-hidden=\"true\">&times;<\/span>\n        <\/button>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"modal-body\">\n        <p><strong>Academic History:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Master of Arts - Integrated Studies (MA-IS), Athabasca University (2016)<br \/>\nGraduate Philosophy Courses at the University of Calgary<br \/>\nBachelor of Arts (BA) in Philosophy (Major) &amp; Political Science (minor), McGill University (2007)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Research Interests<br \/>\n<\/strong>International Social Work, Race, Racism and Identity, Practical Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Race, Leadership and Institutionalism, Human Rights<\/p>\n<p>Dissertation Title:\u00a0 Working title:\u00a0<em>Morality of Blackness<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Professional Experience<br \/>\n<\/strong>Graduate Teaching Assistantship at 快播视频<br \/>\nImmigrant settlement practitioner at Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth at both the front line and leadership level for over nine years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Appearances<br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/calgaryherald.com\/entertainment\/books\/kuir-garangs-poems-inspired-by-the-refugee-life\">Calgary Herald <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winnipegfreepress.com\/local\/expats-rally-for-south-sudan-277180801.html\">Winnipeg Free Press<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BJeaR8KT_ck\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Publications<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Book Chapter<br \/>\n<\/em>Garang, K.

To examine her research subject, Silwadi-Eidda builds on her first-hand experience working for 20 years with women, their children, families, and community who are facing different types of violence from the institutions, policies and practices of the settler colonialism such as home demolitions, limited access to education, family unification, and lack of freedom to move or speak.<\/p>\n<p>For her doctoral research, Najwa hopes to build more space for these women\u2019s experiences and agencies to be heard and recognized. Through the voices and stories of Palestinian women, she hopes to make a contribution to understanding the intersecting relations of power manifest in their experience of organizing to resist the humiliation and injustice that face them everyday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professional Experience:<\/strong><br \/>\nCommunity Action Center (CAC), Jerusalem 1999-2013.
