On March 1st the Centre for Research on Colonial Culture will co-host a research seminar by visiting scholar Professor Margaret D. Jacobs, University of Nebraska. Her seminar is entitled: “Transnational Indigenous Women’s Activism and the Indigenous Child Welfare Crisis, 1960-1980s.’
Prof. Jacobs will consider how American, Canadian, and Australian Indigenous women worked together to challenge the epidemic numbers of Indigenous children who were being removed from their families to be fostered and adopted by non-Indigenous families from the 1950s up to the 1980s. The seminar will take place on Friday March 1st in the Department of History and Art History seminar room (2N8) at noon.
