NEXT WEEK

Navigating Identity and Power: Inuit Educators and the Future of Arctic Women's Leadership Development
 Wednesday, March 5, 2025|4:30PM - 5:30PM |Haldeman Hall 41 (Kreindler Conference Hall)

  • Official Event Link

  • Speaker: Dr. Kathy Snow, Distinguished 2025 Canada Fulbright Research Chair in Arctic Studies

  • Through an ArcticNet sponsored grant between (2019-2023) we attempted to examine this puzzle: why in Inuit population dominant areas, were there so few Inuit leaders in education? The answer to this question, derived from interviews with approximately 60 Inuit educators pointed to a series of complex entanglements related to multiple identities, personal, cultural and community. The intention of much of the literature related to Inuit education to date has been to situate education within the colonial society and engage in identifying and undoing the dominant and assimilative practices as a pathway to reconciliation. This work has both practical and theoretical value for education, however within this talk guided by postcolonial theory  and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit we will discuss the complexity of leadership entanglements for Inuit educators, that reaches far beyond the obvious and requires rigorous societal and personal reflexivity.
