Autorenporträt
Winston Tinglin Lead author, Winston Tinglin, has worked in government and the community sector for many years on a wide range of community engagement initiatives. In Community Engagement in a Changing Social Landscape, he shares many of the insights he gained from this invaluable experience. As Director of Community Engagement at Social Planning Toronto he had a unique front row view of community engagement projects in the Toronto area at a time of significant challenge and social change. Community engagement and community development issues remain areas of great interest to Winston in his current consulting work. Donna Joyette Donna has over 30 years' experience working with people impacted by poverty, violence, and difference in Canada, the U.S, and the Caribbean. Her insights on community engagement owe much to memorable encounters with people who graciously shared their experiences, aspirations and frustrations as they struggled to create better lives for their families and communities. Her most profound learning has come from those relegated to positions furthest from society's axis of power. Donna still strives to approach her work from a place of humility, remembering however, " If you think you are too small to make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito."
