WATCH: Indigenous Ecologies: Exploring Geomorphic Risk through Traditional Knowledge w/Zoe Todd

Across Geography and the Geosciences indigenous communities and their knowledge have historically been discounted and erased. Now, more than ever, we must contend with this (often violent) past and present, and reconsider ideas of ownership and stewardship within the physical geographies. Join the Fi Wi Road Interns and Dr. Zoe Todd on Friday 23rd August for a discussion around the importance and application of indigenous knowledge systems, in addressing the risks to our physical world.

Dr. Zoe Todd (she/they) (Red River Métis) is a practice-led artist- researcher who studies the relationships between Indigenous sovereignty and freshwater fish futures in Canada. Dr. Todd combines dynamic social science and humanities research and research- creation approaches within a framework of Indigenous philosophy.

As part of developing this webinar the interns also independently co-produced an accompanying Zine, exploring some real world examples of how indigenous knowledge, specifically indigenous spiritualities, connect with key Geomorphological concepts or processes.
