EVENT: Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women Symposium (March 24-27, 2015)
Format: This four-day event will include two panels from faculty on
topics associated with Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women. The
symposium will also include a student panel and a World Café Event.
The World Café (March 27 @ 9-3). This day-long event will encourage
discussion, creativity, and action planning with individuals committed
to social action. We imagine participation from members of the
university community (staff, students and faculty) as well as the larger
community of Regina and area.
Call for Presenters: Three one-hour panels will be offered from March
24-26 (details below). Each panel will have 4-5 presenters. Each
presenter will have 10 minutes to present. Presenters are invited to be
creative (engage participants in an activity that you do in class; tell
a story; offer a photo essay; or use power point or other tools).
Presenters will be asked to respond to one of the following questions:
* Panel 1 (March 24 @ 1pm) – How are we teaching about
Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women in the Liberal Arts?
* Panel 2 (March 25 @ 11:30am) – How are we teaching about
Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women in the Professional Programs?
* Panel 3 (March 26 @ 2pm) – How are we learning about
