See the full calendar of events here. \nSFU and UBC students\, faculty\, and staff are invited to this event. \nASL interpretation is offered for this event.

As part of the First Nations & Indigenous Studies program in 2019/2020\, Amber partnered with WAVAW to engage and design a community research project\, examining the strengths and weaknesses of moving beyond state approaches to sexualized violence within Indigenous communities. Her interests include conversations about decolonizing feminism\, gender\, sexuality\, violence\, and curating alternative ways of unpacking intergenerational trauma. After Amber completes her degree at UBC\, she hopes to move onto a master’s degree program with a focus in art and community engagement. \nMeenakshi Mannoe\, PIVOT Legal\, Criminalization and Policing Campaigner\, Prison Justice Day Organizer: Meenakshi works alongside her interdisciplinary colleagues to envision intersectional approaches to policing and criminalization. Meenakshi is the child of first-generation immigrants from India and Suriname\, born on Anishinaabe & Haudenosaunee territory\, and today lives on unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish)\, and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. She values Pivot’s uncompromising commitment to the expertise and vision of people with lived and living experience. Her work emphasizes the impact of policing on all aspects of Pivot’s work\, with particular attention to public legal education materials\, policy analysis and community engagement.. \nKalamity Hildebrandt\, SFPIRG Director of Research and Education \nKalamity has been working in the community on a range of social justice issues\, including anti-violence organizing\, since the early 90’s. They (Kalamity’s pronouns are they/them/their) have long been convinced that the colonial state and its police and prison systems\, cannot\, and were never intended to\, prevent violence – quite the opposite in fact – and that it is vital that we find ways to respond to harm in our communities that do not themselves cause further harm. Kalamity is socially and politically located somewhere in all of this: fat-queer-whitesettlerwithcitizenship-femme-genderqueer-disabled-hearing-psychiatrized-anti-carceral-abusesurvivor-poverty/workingclass-early50’s(!)-intersectional-anti-colonial-anti-capitalist-pro-healing/transformative-justice-anarchist.
