This is an open invitation to everyone in the Queen's and broader community to join us for a new series of talks associated with Global Development Studies’ Principal’s Dream Course on Indigenous Human Ecology in the winter term of 2020.

The four conversational talks will feature Global Development Studies Instructor Ian Fanning (Algonquin), pictured above, speaking with invited guests on topics that explore Indigenous solidarity in various forms, why we need it at Queen’s and in the wider community, and how we can support Indigenous resistance and resurgence.

Topic: Becoming a Settler Ally
Host: Kassie Hill
Speakers: Ian Fanning and Robin Attas
