The intent is to cultivate an environment for productive and critical conversations regarding Indigenous feminism, while exploring new openings and directions for the movement. Through the symposium, we intend to create a space and facilitate a broad interdisciplinary and community-engaged dialogue to nurture feminist and queer theories and meaningfully uphold them as central to Indigenous governance. To this end, the symposium will bring together Indigenous feminist scholars, activists, artists, and community members to consider the historical trajectory and future directions of Indigenous feminist ideology and practice. In celebration as well as preparation for the new edition, the Indigenous Feminisms Symposium is being held to inspire generative discussions that will build into its new iteration. The Indigenous Feminisms Symposium is inspired by the influential text, Making Space for Indigenous Feminism, originally edited by Joyce Green (URegina, retired) and now entering its third edition to be edited by Gina Starblanket (UVic Indigenous Governance).
