• March 20, 2024 – Indigenous De/Criminalization Symposium

  Monday, March 11, 2024 | By cszczepanowski

  

  Join us at the Indigenous De/Criminalization Symposium!

  “The Decolonization Working Group of Brock’s President’s Advisory Committee for Human Rights, Equity and Decolonization (PACHRED) will host a symposium entitled Indigenous De/Criminalization Symposium. We feel it is necessary to address not only how criminalization impacts our communities but also why, when, and the ripple effects (victimization, mis/non/representation). We feel it is also necessary to bring in the richness, strength of spirit, and joy of our nations into the symposium and will weave artists/performers throughout the day.”

  Wednesday, March 20, 2024, from 10:00am to 4:00pm
  Pond Inlet at Brock University

• November 3, 2022 – BIPOC Perspectives: Feminism and Gender Violence

  Thursday, November 03, 2022 | By cszczepanowski

  

  Join us for “BIPOC Perspectives: Feminism and Gender Violence,” a workshop hosted by the Student Justice Centre and facilitated by Women’s and Gender Studies faculty Lyn Trudeau and Margot Francis.

  Feminism and the interconnectedness of gender-based violence are prevalent themes today. In this workshop, we will discuss what feminism is, the different types of feminism, and how gender-based violence plays a role in almost every “feminist topic.”

  Lyn Trudeau is from Sagamok Anishinawbek First Nation, Eagle Clan. Lyn’s research is through a decolonial lens and has included: working alongside Elders, Indigenous youth, Indigenous teacher candidates, and residential schools.

  Margot Francis‘s teaching interests are in the areas of Indigenous resurgence through artistic and community mobilization; feminist, decolonial and anti-racist activism challenging sexual/racial violence; and queer and intersectional approaches to sexualities.

  Thursday, November 3, 2022, from 3:00pm to 4:00pm EST
  Academic South/South Block Room 108 at Brock University

  This workshop is open to folks of all identities.
