Co-organizing a Conference: ‘Bridging the Gap Between Refugee and Indigenous Communities’

Nov 2nd, 2018

In collaboration with Centre for Refugee Studies, Aboriginal Student Association at York University, and West Side Scholars, I am co-organizing a conference on the theme of Bridging the Gap Between the Refugee and Indigenous communities’. Departing from the traditional conference approach this year, we will hold a gathering of knowledge sharing and solidarity building around discussions of colonialism/settler colonialism, and refugees’ relations to the land they are currently residing on.

Thus, we encourage submissions that engage and discuss ideas of displacement by dispossession (of land, culture, community, mobility) caused by colonialism and settler colonialism, as well as the relationship between the experiences of refugees and indigenous communities in Canada through multiple mediums.
