When Corina Farai Makore began her PhD at the University of Windsor, she wasn’t just pursuing a long-held personal goal, she was equipping herself to change a system.

As healthcare manager at the South West Detention Centre in Windsor, Makore leads 50 nurses and oversees a 10-bed infirmary providing 24/7 care for incarcerated patients.

At the same time, she is a scholar using her doctoral research to guide policy reform and strengthen correctional nursing in Ontario.

Whether it’s hitting a daily step goal, taking a stretch break at the office or dropping into a spin class, regular physical activity has undeniable benefits.

For first-year law students at the University of Windsor, learning about access to justice often begins in the classroom.

But on March 20, that learning extended beyond campus, onto the lands of Aamjiwnaang First Nation.

Supported by UWindsor’s Article U: Diversity, Indigeneity, and Anti-Racism Professional Development Fund and Windsor Law, students in the Access to Justice course travelled to the community near Sarnia for a day of land-based, experiential learning centred on environmental and treaty rights.

When newborn babies were taken from their parents under Ontario’s controversial Birth Alerts policy, the removals left lasting trauma for families and highlighted systemic discrimination.
