All too often, universities have functioned as exclusive spaces where certain groups are included, while members of marginalized groups find themselves on the outside, says Sarah Buhler.
A law professor at the University of Saskatchewan, she will discuss her experience leading an interdisciplinary class that brought together university students, Aboriginal high school students and former gang members, Wednesday on the UWindsor campus.
Her free public presentation, “Reading Law and Talking Justice in the Wahkohtowin Classroom,” will begin at noon in the Farmer Conference Room, Ron. W. Ianni Faculty of Law Building.
“Wahkohtowin” means “kinship” in Cree, the predominant Indigenous language in the area surrounding Saskatoon. The Transnational Law and Justice Network presents prof. Buhler’s lecture as part of its Borders, Boundaries and Intersections speakers’ series.
