How do we create space for Indigenous epistemologies in the academy?
Weaving personal lived experiences with her research and academic writing, Dr. Sheila Cote-Meek speaks about her experience moving through the post-secondary education system. She, like many Indigenous scholars, researchers and students faced/face many challenges in navigating the academy. Strategies are shared on how we can mobilize and facilitate real change that extends beyond good intentions.

Post-secondary educators across the Atlantic Region are invited to attend Dr. Cote-Meek’s talk and are encouraged to attend the book club that will follow.
Learning from and among Indigenous scholars to gather and mobilize active, engaged change agents, creating space for reframing and decolonizing postsecondary education systems, policies, and regulations will contribute to a new vision and valuing of new ways forward.
This talk and the book club that will follow invite participants to stand with and among Indigenous scholars by advocating for transformative change at academic tables.
