Silver Medal Award Guest Lecture_March 7, 4:30PM, STC 0050

[Stacy Reda]

Dear Colleagues,

Join the Department of Anthropology for the 2018 Silver Medal Award Lecture<https://uwaterloo.ca/anthropology/events/2018-silver-medal-award-guest-lecture>:

SORRY IS AS SORRY DOES:  Apologies and Beyond, in an Era of Reconciliation, Redress and Resurgence

Political scientists note that we live in an "age of apologies" for historical wrongs (typically, war-crimes and racialized harms). Canadian governments have made about 11 major apologies, quasi-apologies or statements of reconciliation since the mid-1980s, mostly for actions against Indigenous or racialized groups, but also recently for homophobic exclusions. This talk considers what these apologies are and do; what form of redress apologies are and are not; and why they have arisen alongside policies of trade liberalization, economic deregulation and state transformation.
