We are the RGD Tâpwewin team, a 3-year SSHRC-funded project examining Indigenous-Specific Racism in the Canadian Academy.

The June Symposium is our final project deliverable. We aim, within an Indigenous ethics and protocol framework, to strengthen collaborations, plan for future research, and produce knowledge that will be taken up by educational institutions, governments, and public institutions to address Indigenous-specific racism in the academy and beyond.
