DESCRIPTION:(Virtual/ Online Event with Professional Live Captions in Engli
 sh)\n	Please sign up on Eventbrite to receive the zoom link.\n	\n	Dr. Max Lib
 oiron will present on building feminist and anticolonial technologies in c
 ompromised spaces.\n\nHow do we build the tools\, practices\, and infrastr
 uctures we need for a more just world when our spaces are already defined 
 by colonial land relations\, sexism\, ableism\, and racism? In this talk\,
  Dr. Liboiron discusses the concept of “compromise” not as a failure\, but
  a condition of doing ethical work within uneven power relations\, touchin
 g on examples such as inventing scientific tools\, citation practices\, an
 d policy creation.\n\nDr. Liboiron is an Associate Professor in Geography 
 and is formerly the Associate Vice-President (Indigenous Research) at Memo
 rial University. Liboiron is Métis/Michif (Woodman via Red River) who grew
  up in Lac la Biche\, Treaty 6 territory. Dr. Max Liboiron is leader in bo
 th developing and promoting anticolonial research methods into a wide arra
 y of disciplines and spaces. As founder of CLEAR\, an interdisciplinary pl
 astic pollution laboratory whose methods foreground humility and good land
  relations\, Liboiron has influenced national policy on both plastics and 
 Indigenous research\, invented technologies and protocols for community mo
 nitoring of plastics\, and led the development of the interdisciplinary fi
 eld of discard studies.\n\nLiboiron’s book\, Pollution is Colonialism\, br
 idges Science and Technology Studies (STS)\, Indigenous studies\, and disc
 ard studies while providing a framework for understanding all research met
 hods as practices that align with or against colonialism. Focusing on plas
 tic pollution\, the text models an anticolonial scientific practice associ
 ated with Métis concepts of land\, ethics\, and relations\, and demonstrat
 es that anticolonial science is not only possible\, but it is currently be
 ing practiced.\n\nThis event is part of the 4th Season of the Feminist and
  Accessible Publishing and Communications Technologies Speaker and Worksho
 p Series\, organized by Dr. Alex Ketchum. This event is co-sponsored by Dr
 . Damon Matthews as part of the Leadership in Environmental and Digital In
 novation for Sustainability.\n\nOur series was made possible thanks to our

 dies (IGSF)\, the DIGS Lab\, Milieux\, Initiative for Indigenous Futures\,
