Jan 31, 2026 - FilmSocial: The Day Iceland Stood Still

When: January 31st, 7pm

The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is very pleased to present a special screening of "The Day Iceland Stood Still."

What if every woman simply took the day off? The Day Iceland Stood Still is a film that answers that question. In Iceland, on October 24, 1975, women walked out and stopped working. 90% of the women of Iceland refused to work, cook, or take care of the children. They brought their country to a standstill and catapulted Iceland to the "best place in the world to be a woman" today.

Jan 29, 2026 - Community Care on Campus

When: January 29th, 11:30am
Where: 288 Church St, Room 707/709, Toronto Metropolitan University

Featuring disability justice scholar and care collective organizer, Dr. Loree Erickson, and collective care artist-researcher and TMU ComCult alum, L. Morris, this conversation and workshop will take up how we care for one another in university.

This session will animate Loree's long-standing and revolutionary work with care collectives and L's practices of collective care, mutual aid, and harm reduction. We will open with a conversation between Loree and L on collective care, mutual aid, and abolition. We will then have small group discussions and maker circles where participants will reflect on their own care practices and networks, consider tensions between state-supported care and community-led care, and imagine concrete ways to build and sustain care on campus. We will engage these topics through conversation and collage.
