University of Waterloo Libraries is collaborating with Indigenous Student Services to host a spooky edition of Anti-Racism Reads, just in time for Halloween!

Please join us at Dana Porter Library for a discussion of Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology, featuring unsettling stories from various Indigenous authors. With a forward by Stephen Graham Jones, this collection builds on the belief many Indigenous people hold that one should never whistle at night as it can cause evil spirits to appear and possibly follow you home.

Dr. Edward Doolittle: Indigenous Mathematics

To develop Indigenous Mathematics as a coherent subject distinct from mathematics, ethnomathematics, and Indigenous studies, we must consider the discipline’s foundations. As with global mathematics, Indigenous mathematics is founded in logic, philosophy, and culture, but differs in detail. Indigenous logic allows for the coexistence of contradictory statements: Indigenous philosophy is grounded in creation and the land; Indigenous culture is inextricably bound with spirituality, ceremony, and oral tradition. Efforts to “Indigenize” mathematics will fail without taking these differences into account.

Registration not required.
