Reading Circle: Indigeneity and the University, Part 2

The FAUW working group on Indigenization will be holding a second reading circle on Thursday, August 2. This event is a continuation of our previous reading circle on June 22 but newcomers are welcome! 

We’ll continue reading through brief public statements about Indigenous initiatives in academe and discussing how they might apply at the University of Waterloo.

We'll meet from 2:30 to 4:30 pm, in the board room on the second floor of the Grad House, and will provide some snacks. RSVPs are not required but if you know you’re coming, a quick reply to this email would be appreciated.

We’ll provide copies of reading materials, or you can access them online in advance.

• Last time, we read through Universities Canada’s Principles on Indigenous Education 
• We are about half-way through the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) Policy Statement on Indigenizing the Academy
• We haven’t started the Open Letter to University Presidents from Indigenous Faculty Members and Allies
