I had the privilege of being interviewed by Shashika Bandara as part of a spotlight series for McGill Perspectives on Global Health, an online academic journal/blog. I shared some of my personal experiences and cultural background, my research on Indian Day Schools, and the important work we as Indigenous, colonized and marginalized peoples are doing in education reform and research.
“Perhaps the most personal and powerful conversation I have had in this series to wrap up the Spotlight interview series as the editor. Take time to read this & re-examine biases, approaches to decolonizing. Worth your time, @SheWalksAbout for speaking & sharing.”
