The Public Stories Lab Presents: "Quantum Entanglements and Critical Indigenous Fish Philosophy: looking back on 50 years of Critical Indigenous scholarship on science, philosophy, and fish in Canada and the USA"

Virtual Event: November 6, 2024
From 11:00-12:30 pm EST
Public Stories Lab

Please join us for an enlightening dialogue with fish philosopher, artist, and activist-scholar Zoe Todd.

This talk will explore the trajectories that guide my team's 'Critical Indigenous Fish Philosophy', starting with the fish philosophers that inform my current work. First and foremost, my late stepfather, Wayne Roberts, who was a Red River Métis scientist who passionately defended fish, amphibians, and all manner of creatures in his career in Alberta and ignited my passion for fish science when I was a child. I will also share how the work of founders of the discipline of Indigenous Studies, including Vine Deloria Jr and Leroy Little Bear, among others, shape my current thinking about fish, sovereignty and my team's efforts to build an anti-imperialist prairie fish science in our homelands. 

We encourage attendees to visit the website Critical Indigenous Fish Philosophy.
