CFLS Lecture Series: Professor Gina Starblanket

Indigenous Legal Feminism and the Expansion of Legal Horizons in Canada

Through reference to the new, third edition of Making Space for Indigenous Feminism (Fernwood Publishing, 2024), Dr. Gina Starblanket explores the diverse ways that Indigenous feminist analyses have historically worked to identify and challenge colonialism and heteropatriarchy within Canadian legal and political systems. The ways in which they are engaging new sites, actors, and approaches as they work towards expansive modes of transformation and relationship-building within Indigenous and settler communities. 

Pizza will be provided to in-person attendees, first come first serve. Attendees may also enter a draw for a chance to win a copy of Dr. Starblanket's new book - 3 copies are available!

This presentation is co-sponsored by Indigenous Legal Studies.
