Hello LFS Grads,<\/p>\n
The Animal Welfare Program (AWP) EDI.I Committee will be hosting another series of journal club sessions for collaboratively discussing the Weaving Relations course modules. Typically, the AWP Journal Club is used to read interesting research articles and discuss them together, but from February-April we will use journal club sessions to take the Weaving Relations course together, to learn more about Indigenous contexts and relations in Canada, and discuss what we learn collectively to enhance our learning experience.<\/p>\n
We welcome anyone from LFS to join us in these biweekly discussions, whether you are new to the course or have taken in before!<\/p>\n
Weaving Relations is a self-led Canvas course, developed jointly by the Faculty of Applied Science and the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, that explores Indigenous histories, people, and contexts, as well as settler colonialism in Canada, through the lens of Indigenous-Canadian relationships.<\/p>\n
