Land Acknowledgement: Bishop’s University is located on the unceded traditional lands of the Abenaki people. Meeting and working in this privileged location are a constant reminder of the need for continued conversations about the importance of decolonization and reconciliation, not just as abstract concepts, but as difficult ongoing processes to be worked on.
