Event: Book launch Challenging Racist “British Columbia”: 150 Years and Counting
Date: March 21st 2021 (Sunday) / 3:00pm – 4:15pm (PST)
Pre-registration: Register here.
All seven authors – Nicholas XEMŦOLTW̱ Claxton, Denise Fong, Fran Morrison, Christine O’Bonsawin, Maryka Omatsu, John Price and Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra – and the illustrator John Endo Greenaway will be present to share how they hope the illustrated resource will be used by educators and activists interested in doing anti-racist work. The discussion will be moderated by our Director, Dr. Carol Liao.
This free and open access publication examines the historical thread of racism and how it connects to the racism that is ongoing. Individuals, educators, and policymakers can use this to amplify the diversity of voices and experiences in our movement and pathway forward. Download the booklet for free here. This book will be further developed into an interactive online resource.

Webinar — Courageous Conversations: Complaint, Diversity and Other Hostile Environments
Join us as we welcome Dr. Sara Ahmed, an independent feminist scholar and writer. Dr. Ahmed will join us for an online event where she will discuss her work on how power is experienced and challenged in everyday life and institutional cultures.
In this lecture, Dr. Ahmed will bring together stories about making complaints by academics and students of colour to show how universities remain hostile environments despite or even through official policies on diversity and inclusion. She explains why doors keep coming up in stories of complaint with specific reference to the “diversity door." People of colour are assumed to enter that door, which is often shut by appearing to be open. The lecture explores how those who complain become strangers or suspects, "persons to be interrogated.” Complaints about hostile environments are made in hostile environments.
