How is being masculine influenced and shaped by colonialism? How is colonialism reinforced through certain masculinities? How does this creep in our ways of organizing?
What does it mean for M:UC that we are organizing on unceded Algonquin territory? That there is a genocide happening?
We want these questions to inform how we organize M:UC
Please join us for three conversations where we explore these topics and work with us to figure out what decolonizing M:UC means.
This series is open for everyone to participate.
To ground the meetings, participants are asked to read a few short texts. If you are not comfortable reading texts, there will be a short (20mins) preparatory meeting.
The meetings will be both online and in person (hybrid), to ensure everyone can participate in their preferred manner. The in person meetings depend on the COVID developments.
The meeting is in English. A wide range of topics may be discussed, including violence, trauma, histories, and ongoing forms of oppression. Participants will be encouraged to conduct personal reflection, and figure out how these reflections can be implemented in actions.
The goal is to develop a framework that will support M:UC in our decolonizing efforts.
