Adam Asmar

Adam is a perennial University student and employee. Currently finishing up his Masters Degree in Critical Disability Studies, Adam uses his lived experience with disability and his accrued academic experience to apply Disability Justice lenses to everything he interacts with in society. After 10 years of combined studies and employment at Toronto Metropolitan University, Adam is now at OCAD University. Throughout his personal and professional life, he applies food justice through his work, with a particular focus and passion for food insecurity in post secondary education. This looks like establishing food produce subscriptions for grad students at TMU, helping to establish a free food program during exam periods at TMU, and now working to continue to fill community fridges and pantries at OCAD and restarting their Hot Lunch program. In his personal life he also runs an instagram and TikTok account focused on saving money on groceries, culturally rich and easy meals, with an underlying focus on healthy eating.
