Dawn Dumont: Decolonizing through Humour

From stories from her community and readings from her three books, Nobody Cries at Bingo, Rose's Run and Glass Beads, Dawn Dumont uses humour to disrupt the mainstream views of First Nations people. It is not all hardship and sadness, nor is it magical spirituality but it a deeply powerful world of strong people who continue to laugh the loudest.

Penser la (dé)naturalisation de la race et du sexe

Un colloque international et multidisciplinaire sera consacré à l'actualité de la pensée de Colette Guillaumin. Décédée en 2017, la sociologue française nous lègue un travail pionnier de dénaturalisation des catégories de race et de sexe.
