• 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

  To see a full schedule of the day’s events and all special guests, speakers, performers, and artists, view or download the Indigenous De/Criminalization Symposium Schedule.

  Sponsored by the President’s Advisory Committee on Human Rights, Equity, and Decolonization (PACHRED), Decolonization Working Group, 2S&LGBTQ Working Group, Employment Equity Working Group, Faculty of Social Sciences, Indigenous Education Department, and Student Justice Centre.
