The Tri-University Graduate Student Association (TUGSA) together with the History Anti-Racism Taskforce (HART) at the University of Waterloo will host a graduate student panel in honour of Asian Heritage Month.

Dr. Cindy Blackstock will reflect on her career advocating for Indigenous children and families and discuss how the history of child welfare in Canada intersects with the history of colonialism.

Join our Ph.D student, Emily Oakes, currently studying at the Tri-U through Wilfrid Laurier University for this lecture, part of the Military Lecture Series.

Emily Oakes’ presentation will examine how the soldier-horse relationship functioned in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces and its effects on the soldiers, such as J.E.B. Seely or John McCrae, who wrote about their bonds with their horses. 

Research Panel Description

The panel features graduate history students from the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto. Panelists include Tolulope Akande (University of Waterloo), Arshad Desai (University of Toronto), and Abigail Opoku (University of Waterloo). The event will be hybrid: held in the MacKirdy Reading Room (HH 117) at the University of Waterloo and on Zoom.
