Invited Lecture by Dr. Kaitlin Schwan - Preventing Youth Homelessness in Canada: What Will it Take?
Dr. Kaitlin Schwan is a Senior Researcher at the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness, a research centre and think tank located at York University. She received her PhD in Social Work from the University of Toronto, and recently completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Education at York University.
Dr. Schwan鈥檚 talk will focus on Preventing Youth Homelessness in Canada: What Will it Take? Following an overview of her program of research, she will discuss the findings of her 2018 pan-Canadian study on youth homelessness prevention. This qualitative study engaged youth experiencing homelessness in focus groups across 12 Canadian communities, inviting youth to reflect on what would have prevented their homelessness. Dr. Schwan will discuss key themes that emerged in youth鈥檚 discussions, outline the conceptual framework that emerged from this research, and conclude with a discussion of how this body of work orients her future scholarship and provides a map for future policy, practice, and research in the area of youth homelessness prevention.
