Join us this month for Part 5 of our “Cultivating Careers” series!

Wednesday, October 18 

12:00-1:30 PM (PST)

Any cultural professionals who identify as Indigenous, Black, or a Person of Colour (IBPOC) are welcome to attend.

Description:

In this professional development workshop, facilitator Madison Tardif will lead us in a follow-up to January's session Stepping Courageously Into Conflict

Participants will be encouraged to practice conflict engagement in a group setting through the lens of social justice and systems change.  Resources and tools to navigate difficult conversations and surface differences that matter will be provided.

If you would like to join this session and did not attend January's session, we encourage you to watch it here. Please also be prepared to engage with the practice portion of this session. We strongly encourage participants to have their cameras on to create a sense of safety in this IBPOC affinity space.

About the Facilitator:

Madison is of mixed Afro-Indigenous and European ancestry and currently resides and works on unceded Musqueam, Squamish, and Tseleil-Waututh territory. It is through her own lived experience as a multiracial person that Madison began exploring concepts of identity, power, privilege, and systems of oppression. During her graduate degree, she furthered understanding of community engagement, systems change, and decolonization. Her research focused on policy and decision-making in Indigenous self-governments and gave her a different perspective on leadership, community-centred decision-making, and decolonial approaches to governance.

Since then, her passion for human rights and community-building has led her into a career focused on promoting justice, equity, decolonization, indigenization, and anti-racism. In her current role as an Equity Strategist at the University of British Columbia, Madison focuses on anti-oppression through capacity-building, conflict engagement, education, and community-care.
