EDI Scholar-in-Residence with Dana-Lyn Mackenzie: Advancing the Indigenous Strategic Plan at UBC
January 29 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking lecture with Dana-Lyn Mackenzie, UBC Library’s EDI Scholar-in-Residence, as she discusses her experiences with the vision, progress, and future of Indigenous engagement and reconciliation at the University of British Columbia.
In this session, Dana-Lyn will share insights into her experiences within various faculties implementing of the ISP—Canada’s first university-wide Indigenous strategic plan. She will reflect on some of the challenges and successes of embedding Indigenous perspectives across UBC’s campuses and communities, and explore how the ISP calls on all faculties, units, and individuals to take meaningful action in support of Indigenous self-determination and systemic transformation.
Whether you are a student, staff member, faculty, or community partner, this lecture is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of what reconciliation means in practice and how we can collectively contribute to a more inclusive and respectful academic environment.
