<div><font face="Calibri">As we see rising acts of civil disobedience around us, a quick check on what disruption means. What forms does it take? What are the implications to our bodies and minds? In the course of her Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy, Shree
found breakthroughs in long-standing issues of marginalization. Her findings on educators disrupting the status quo in Baltimore, in India, in New Zealand etc. inform her path as she takes on racism in the media. </font></div>

<div><font face="Calibri"><b>About Gender and Social Justice</b><b>:</b> In September 2019, Women’s Studies at University of Waterloo became Gender and Social Justice. Our academic plans are flexible and student-centred. They are designed so that our majors
and minors benefit from both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary training. Students, whether they are majors or minors, or taking GSJ courses as electives, will find our courses timely, accessible, relevant, varied, and surprising. In the first instance,
these courses seek to cultivate awareness of the experiences of people marginalized by such features as gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, disability, and class. More than this, our students learn to use the theoretical framework of intersectional
feminism to critically analyse systems and representations, locally and globally. </font></div>

<div>The University of Waterloo is situated on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishnaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. It is situated on the <a href="http://www.sixnations.ca/LandsResources/HaldProc.htm"><font color="#1155CC"><u>Haldimand Tract</u></font></a>,
land promised to Six Nations, which includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Before settlers came to this land, the Haudenosaunee and Anishaabeg were bound through <a href="https://nandogikendan.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/69b9f-23-2-simpson.pdf"><font color="#1155CC"><u>Gdoo-naaganinaa</u></font></a>,
which means “One Dish” in Anishinaabemowin. It is also known as the Dish with One Spoon Treaty by the Haudenosaunee. Find out more about the Haldimand Tract, and about why I and other members of the University make territorial acknowledgements as part of our
academic work <a href="https://uwaterloo.ca/arts/about-arts/territorial-acknowledgement"><font color="blue"><u>here</u></font></a>.</div>
