Laurentian University and its federated partner, the University of Sudbury, which are located on the traditional territory of Atikameksheng Anishnawbek First Nation, are pleased to announce a three-day multidisciplinary conference. This event seeks to advance scholarship on issues facing Indigenous faculty members at Canadian universities including equity, curriculum and pedagogy. Bringing together leading and emerging scholars from across the country, faculty members, graduate students, senior administrators, staff, educators, and community members, the conference is built around three themes:

1) Diversity in Universities: Equity in Hiring, Tenure, Promotion and Leadership.

2) Ways of Knowing: The Place of Indigenous Knowledge in the University Curriculum.

3) Decolonizing Universities: New Pedagogies, Resistance and Reconciliation.
