This presentation overviews my research on community development, economic geographies, and urban and regional restructuring. My research addresses strategies for poverty alleviation and reductions in social and economic exclusion through the on-going turn to community. This presentation draws from my recent research on a complementary currency initiative to examine the ways in which local money can be used to create new circuits of wealth, build community, and alter social and economic geographies. This project informs ways to open up community development and related strategies to create social and economic inclusion. _______________________________________________ Roza Tchoukaleyska TUGS - President ============================================= ******** *** *** ******** ****** ** *** *** ** ** ** *** *** ** **** ** *** *** ** **** ** ** *** *** ** ** *** ** ********* ******** ****** ============================================= Toronto Undergraduate Geography Society Sidney Smith Hall, Rm 613 100 St. George St. Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3G3 416-978-2057 http://www.geog.utoronto.ca/info/tugs tugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----------- TUGS GENERAL ANOUNCEMENT MAILING LIST - www.geog.utoronto.ca/info/tugs Email TUGS: tugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or visit the TUGS office in the basement of Sidney Smith Hall, Room 613
