In a time of drastic geopolitical change, Canada is re-evaluating its relationships. Are the Prime Minister's comments about a new global order accurate, and if so, should Canada side with Europe? Come and see Dr. Patricia Goff, Dr. David Welch, Dr. Ken Jackson, and Dan Ciuriak debate this issue. Don't hesitate to bring your questions to the post-debate Q&A.

Scholar Spotlight: Dr. Anna Drake

Anna Drake will be speaking on a new approach to deliberative consociationalism. She combines critical work on structural injustice and deliberative democracy with intersectional feminist interventions into power-sharing. Drawing from the radical analysis in the Combahee River Collective statement (1977) and their argument that intersectional identity is a source of knowledge and the impetus for much-needed structural change, she argues post-conflict societies should focus not on power-sharing, but on a transformation of power.

Speaker Series: Dr. Minh Do

Dr. Do will be speaking on her book, Process as Power, published at UBC Press. The book examines how Indigenous consultation is implemented in B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Process. Drawing on analyses of judicial decisions, environmental assessment reports, and interviews, it demonstrates how the process of Indigenous consultation is a key site where state legitimacy is contested.
