Dangling in the Glimmer of Hope
with Garry Gottfriedson and Victoria Handford
Hosted by Neil Wilson
Dangling in the Glimmer of Hope is a truly beautiful sharing of people's journeys in reconciliation. The art, poetry, research, and stories create a comprehensive picture of the difficult learning and commitments to action that each of them has made.”
Join us for an essential conversation on how best to move meaningfully towards real reconciliation between Canada and Indigenous communities. Dangling in the Glimmer of Hope: Academic Action on Truth and Reconciliation demonstrates actions academics have taken in relation to some of the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Poetry, short stories, and children’s stories sit alongside scholarly chapters, mixing personal and academic voices to challenge and engage both the head and the heart about what Truth and Reconciliation—and the Calls to Action—require of us all.
Garry Gottfriedson, Victoria Handford, and their collaborators invite readers not only to explore the diverse facets of Indigenous identity, but also to embark on a transformative, collective journey towards mutual understanding and respect.
