Toronto Event: Blazing the Indigenous Feminist Trail
This looks like a great discussion happening at OISE. Last week Cory was in San Francisco at Sex:Tech speaking on a panel about feminist sex education. It's very exciting to have so many other people talking about, problematizing, and generally digging into what any of us mean when we talk about our work or ourselves as feminist.
If you're interested the event has a Facebook page (click here), but copied below are some of the highlights.
"Indigenous Feminism" has been taken up as more than just a “theory” by Indigenous academics and activists throughout Turtle Island and beyond. But still many people reject the term. What does “Indigenous Feminism” constitute? Is it just about women? Isn’t feminism a “white-woman’s” thing? Isn’t land really the only issue?
A powerhouse evening featuring two incredible women who have shaped and continue to blaze the Indigenous feminist trail, and who will never be defined solely by one theory.
