From Land Sovereignty to Reproductive Justice Freedom Fighting: Blazing the Indigenous Feminist Trail
Indigenous Feminism has been taken up as more than just a “theory” by Indigenous academics and activists throughout Turtle Island and beyond. But still many people reject the term. What does “Indigenous Feminism” constitute? Is it just about women? Isn’t feminism a “white-woman’s” thing? Isn’t land really the only issue?
A powerhouse evening featuring two incredible women who have shaped and continue to blaze the Indigenous feminist trail, and who will never be defined solely by one theory.
Featuring
Andrea Smith, co-founder of Incite! Women of Color Against Violence and the Boarding School Healing Project
Lee Maracle, award-winning poet, novelist, performance storyteller, scriptwriter, actor, and writer in residence at First Nations House at University of Toronto
Moderated by Jessica Yee, founder and executive director of the Native Youth Sexual Health Network
Introduced by Eileen Antone, OISE Professor and Director of Aboriginal Studies and the Centre for Aboriginal Initiatives, University of Toronto
With an opening performance by the Red Slam Collective -> didn't participate

Mapping the Contours: Women’s Labour in Canada’s Adult ESL Industry
a Brown Bag lecture with Biljana Vasilevska/ April 14 2010, 12:00 – 1:30pm, CWSE Room
An introduction to the contexts and conditions of women’s roles in English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction in Canada.  Vasilevska explores women's emotional and unpaid labour in the teaching of newcomers to Canada, contrasting it with the more stable and lucrative – and more masculinised – private school and higher education settings. A simple break-down of the complex ESL industry that will be helpful for anyone considering working in the ESL industry and those concerned with the proletarianization of traditionally women-dominated industries. 

3rd Annual Decolonizing the Spirit: Re-Building the Community & Re-claiming Our Histories Conference
Friday, April 16th & Saturday, April 17th, 2010, 9:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.
OISE, 5th floor, rooms 5-150 & 5-280
The main objective of the 3rd Annual gathering on Decolonizing the Spirit Conference is to create a space where community building and re-claiming our histories can continue. We recognize that decolonizing the spirit requires decolonizing our minds which will engender a holistic engagement. It requires a critical analysis of knowledge production that has disenfranchised and silenced marginalized individuals. We also recognize that decolonization is a critical process that needs to take place personally, locally and globally. We invite presentations that will address how community building and the continuous re-claiming of our histories are a part of decolonizing the spirit and mind from various perspectives. Decolonization process is not limited to any particular group of people; it is a collective endeavour for many people, by valuing the uniqueness of individuals regardless of race, gender, creed, sexuality or ability. Decolonizing the spirit has been silenced and marginalized as a discourse of embodied knowledges, and it is our fervent endeavour to keep the process of decolonization an ongoing focal point toward liberation for all.

Dissent: The Politics and Poetics of Women’s Resistance
May 12~13th. @ Hart House in UT
http://www.utoronto.ca/wgsi/dissentconference/program.php
This is the inaugural international feminist conference funded by the Hammed Shahidian Legacy Initiative at the University of Toronto. Organized by the Women and Gender Studies Institute and New College, this two-day conference aims to bring together scholars, activists, community groups, students, artists and performers from around the world for debate, discussion, inquiry, and deliberation on a variety of contemporary feminist thoughts, politics and praxis as they relate predominantly to the Middle East. From the political to the personal, this conference is a conversation on questions pertinent to feminist resistance; its status, its history, its failures, its successes, its poetics. Dissent and resistance are the valences upon which questions of religion, colonial histories, neo-liberal regimes, genocide, historical memory, gender violence, women’s movements, and women’s survival will be interrogated. This is a conference inspired by the possibility of political transformation in all its challenges.
