Gender Studies Statement on Racism and Graffiti  April 10, 2019

The Department of Gender Studies strongly condemns the racist graffiti that appeared on the Queen's University and St. Lawrence College campuses on Friday, April 5. We denounce every form of racism perpetrated in our institutions and in our communities, including the anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, anti-Semitic manifestations of violence we witnessed this past week. We oppose white supremacy and its proponents, and we are committed to fostering an environment where all students, staff, and faculty can thrive.

Congratulations to Katherine McKittrick on her receipt of the 2019 American Association of Geographers' (AAG) Harold M. Rose Award for Anti-Racism Research and Practice.

The formal announcement reads as follows: 

Statement of Solidarity with Wet’suwet’en January 18, 2019

The Department of Gender Studies at Queen’s University recognizes that we are situated on the territory of the Anishinaabek and Haudenosaunee Peoples who are the caretakers of this land. We also acknowledge that this land is significant to Indigenous peoples’ practices and spiritualities. Living in this territory, we hold responsibilities to the people, creatures, lands and waters of this region and seek to uphold our treaty obligations.
