  • March 8, 2024 – Decolonizing International Women’s Day: From Turtle Island to Gaza

    Decolonizing International Women’s Day: From Turtle Island to Gaza

    This event brings into conversation the “political intimacies” between Indigenous and Palestinian struggles (Lowe, 2015). Through global/local perspectives, we name how settler violence is enacted and the possibilities for decolonial feminist insights to sustain new solidarities.

    Local Voices, Local Impact – a conversational circle, will take place after the speaker’s presentations.
