about the talk

louis st-laurent:  canada’s last big vision, and forgotten, prime minister

a liberal prime minister. pipelines. equalization. western alienation. not a day goes by that these do not dominate our media headlines. but, as we are often led to believe, are they really new issues?

most canadians would be surprised that these very issues dominated newspapers over sixty years ago and were tackled by louis st-laurent, one of canada’s longest serving prime ministers. this presentation explores st-laurent’s vision for canada. for st-laurent, ottawa alone could not engender the health and vigour necessary to the development of canada’s resources. regional development was necessary to ensure an economically strong canada welded by a strong national identity and sovereignty. the corollary was also true: a strong national identity and sovereignty would ensure the country would be a bastion of liberalism in the fight against communism.

resurgent reading practices: indigenous and anishinaabe literature book clubs in northwestern ontario

event date: 
wednesday, march 4, 2020 - 11:00am to 12:00pm est
event location: 
atac 5036 (thunder bay) / oa 2005 (orillia)

about the event

why do we read indigenous literature and why does it matter? what does it do? in this talk, sshrc post-doctoral fellow dr. adar charlton will discuss how reading indigenous literatures serves transformative, healing, decolonizing, and place-based resurgent potentialities. her research on northwestern ontario anishinaabe literature and subsequent work with indigenous book clubs in thunder bay explores the importance of supporting and facilitating various reading communities, in both indigenous and settler spaces, that through their reading practices can confront settler colonialism, settler amnesia, white privilege, racism, and the continued dispossession of indigenous land in the place now claimed as canada. charlton will also consider the methodological implications of supporting and holding space for these reading communities as a white settler scholar, while maintaining ethical and accountable, community-driven, insurgent research practices that support local community goals and avoid extractive research approaches.
