Bridging Divides: Confronting Colonialism and Anti-Black Racism

Western University, London, ON/Canada

May 30 – June 5, 2020

https://www.congress2020.ca/

 

Congress 2020 offers a gathering place on the banks of London’s Deshkan
Ziibi, on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee,
Lūnaapéewak, and Attawandaron (Neutral) peoples, not far from where some of
Upper Canada’s earliest Black refugees arrived after fleeing slavery in the
United States. The river’s Forks downstream from the Western University
campus are a traditional meeting place where two tributaries converge, a
place to come together to listen to the land and water, to build resilience
as we confront what divides us. Congress 2020 will encourage
multidisciplinary engagement under the broad concept of bridging divides,
while specifically emphasizing the dispossession of Indigenous peoples and
the enslavement of Africans in the new world. Settler colonialism, as part
of a broader imperial project, erases Indigenous peoples by appropriating
land and delegitimizing traditional knowledge, and dehumanizes Black people,
subjecting them to the tropes of everyday anti-Black racism. As we come
together to confront white privilege and white supremacy, and examine
experiences shared by Indigenous peoples and African Canadians, we also
invite our community to reflect critically on social, ethnic, political and
epistemological divisions more broadly, forming a future vision that bridges
divides between divergent ways of knowing and navigating our world.
