About the project<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

A troubling problem affects a number of aging adults, yet it’s a subject long gone overlooked in the media: many living in privately-owned rental housing are victims of mistreatment. Julien Simard, a postdoctoral member of CREG\u00c9S, examined this social phenomenon as part of his doctoral dissertation and in subsequent projects. With support from the Dialogue program of the Fonds de recherche du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a><\/span> and the CREG\u00c9S<\/a><\/span>, he now wishes to bring this issue to the attention of the general public and those who work with seniors.<\/h4>\n

Julien Simard<\/strong>, a social gerontologist, holds a master’s degree in anthropology (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<\/a>), a doctorate in urban studies (Institut national de recherche scientifique \u2013 Centre Urbanisation culture et soci\u00e9t\u00e9<\/a>) and a postdoctorate (McGill School of Social Work<\/a>). He was recently a postdoctoral researcher in the D\u00e9partement d\u2019\u00e9tudes urbaines et touristiques at Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al<\/a>, and a lecturer in the gerontology certificate program at Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al. He is interested in many issues related to aging, including end of life, housing, immigration and social exclusion.<\/p>\n

In March 2023,<\/strong> he will launch two podcast episodes on the harassment and abuse of older adults living in Montreal’s private rental market. These podcasts will include interviews with experts (like CREG\u00c9S researcher M\u00e9lanie Couture<\/strong><\/a>) and will look in more detail at specific forms of interpersonal and structural violence experienced by seniors.<\/p>\n

Each podcast will be launched in the format of a collective listening session, followed by public discussion (see full details at right). These launch events, open to the general public and especially to those caring for older people, aims to invite public exchange on the subject(s) and shed new light on ways of confronting this problem.<\/p>\n
