This annual five-part series, hosted in five cities across the country, is co-sponsored by CBC Radio, House of Anansi Press, and Massey College in the University of Toronto. It is broadcast each November on CBC’s IDEAS.Global director of The Shift, an international human rights organization focused on housing, finance, and climate, and former UN Special Rapporteur on the right to housing, Leilani Farha is the newest name to join a long list of thinkers, writers, and scholars as the 2026 Massey lecturer. Through intimate encounters with people unhoused and inadequately housed on six continents, and her own reckoning from the centre of global housing debates, she will talk with Nahlah Ayed about housing as a foundation for justice. She’ll discuss how the same logic that justifies dispossessing Indigenous Peoples of their lands and resources now prices out young people, displaces tenants, destroys communities, and disappears homeless people.IMPORTANT DETAILS:1.)
