Subject: Two events this Friday from Fine Arts & Political Science

You'll have a tough choice to make this Friday, March 8 at noon when two (unrelated) events take place:


  1.  The Department of Fine Arts presents their Visiting Speakers Series with <https://uwaterloo.ca/fine-arts/events/visiting-speaker-series-bob-wiseman> composer/producer Bob Wiseman<https://uwaterloo.ca/fine-arts/events/visiting-speaker-series-bob-wiseman>, East Campus Hall (ECH) room 1219, at 12pm.

The uses of Marxism by Indigenous activists and scholars has been paradoxical: existing, but limited when viewed against other theoretical frameworks. In this talk the Dene scholar Glen Coulthard digs deeper into this, showing us how Indigenous activists in Western Canada from the late 60s to the early 80s developed a place-based political framework that was deeply influenced by global decolonization movements. In doing so he will reveal how Native people have created molded and adapted this framework to their unique contexts to further their own critiques of racial capitalism, patriarchy, and colonialism.
