Indigenous Environmental Justice Project
By TPL Programs
Members of the Indigenous Environmental Justice Project (IEJ Project) will introduce the concepts of environmental justice and will present recent research findings.
The IEJ Project is an initiative based out of York University whose research aims to develop a distinctive environmental justice framework that is informed by Indigenous knowledge systems, laws, concepts of justice and the lived experiences of Indigenous peoples.
Presented by York University Professor and Canada Research Chair Deborah McGregor (Anishinaabe) and fellow members of the IEJ Project, this talk will focus specifically on the intersection of Indigenous Environmental Justice with food, medicine, health, and climate change.
Deborah's talk will explore the impacts of climate change on the Anishinaabek through utilizing community-based research methods. Using a workshop approach, we encourage participants to reflect upon their role in the natural world and to share their knowledge and experience.
This Live & Online presentation is part of Toronto Public Library's Our Fragile Planet program series, supported by TD Friends of the Environment (TD FEF).
