2026 International Women’s Day Lecture with Megan Scribe
The Power of Indigenous Women’s Advocacy
In this talk, Scribe offers a genealogy of Indigenous women’s political advocacy at the intersection of gender-based and sexual violence and settler colonialism in the Canadian context.
Dr. Megan Scribe (Ininiw iskwew, Norway House Cree Nation) is an interdisciplinary Indigenous feminist researcher, writer, and educator. Scribe is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and the founding Education Director for Yellowhead Institute at Toronto Metropolitan University. Scribe’s scholarship and community-based advocacy expose and interrogate interlocking structures of power and oppression giving rise to white settler societies like Canada. Over the last ten years, she has focused on anti-Indigenous gender-based violence targeting Indigenous women, girls, and 2LGBTQQIA+ people to further draw out the ways in which cis-heteropatriarchy upholds white settler society. Scribe is a long-time Council Member for Aboriginal Legal Services’ Community Council Diversion Program and working on her first manuscript.
