About Us

We are a 3-year Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)-funded Race, Gender, Diversity project examining Indigenous-specific racism in the Canadian academy. The project’s name is Tâpwewin, which means "we speak truth" in Nêhiyâwewin (Cree).

Project activities include a scoping review, a demographic survey, interviews and focus groups with Indigenous scholars at all levels and career stages in tenured, term, and sessional lecturer appointments from all disciplines across the country.

Our work is based upon a framework of Indigenous laws and ethics including the ethics of relationality, reciprocity, and respect.
