The series was initiated by the NLPS in response to its goal to fulfill the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Call to Action #57. This Call to Action asks all levels of government to provide education to public servants on the history of Indigenous peoples.
Join us in conversation with Isabel Altamirano-Jiménez whose talk shares how patriarchy, gender, and colonialism have shaped the experiences of Indigenous women as both knowers and producers of knowledge. Isabel will weave stories learned in her study on the nature and scope of Indigenous women’s knowledge, its rootedness in relationships both human and spiritual, and its inseparability from Land.
Isabel Altamirano-Jiménez is Zapotec from the TehuantepecIsthmus, Mexico. She holds a joint appointment as Associate Professorin the Department of Political Science and the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta.
Brought to you by The Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools (NLPS) and UBC Press, in collaboration with Vancouver Island Regional Library.
