Equity Panel 3 of 4: Decolonizing the Academy? The Status of Indigenous Peoples and Scholarship

The Federation Equity Issues Portfolio conducted the third of its four-part equity panel series on May 26th. It featured Joyce Green, Makere Stewart-Harawira and Rauna Kuokkanen, who examined the status of indigenous peoples in Canadian universities, and the status of scholarship on indigenous people. Held as part of the 2009 Congress of the Humanities, the panels serve to explore what has been gained and what stands to be achieved for equity-seeking groups in the Canadian Academy. Speakers: Joyce Green, University of Regina; Makere Stewart-Harawira, University of Alberta; Rauna Kuokkanen, University of Toronto.  The panel was followed by a question and answer period and closing statements were made by Malinda Smith (Vice-president Equity Issues, Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences).
