Much of this series has been historically oriented, but this week’s episode features a conversation with Denise Nadeau, to unpack some of the various critiques of the dominant ideologies that have animated Canadian life. We introduce listeners to decolonial and feminist critiques and hear how these critiques can animate concrete practices of resistance in the world today.

Dr. Denise Nadeau is an educator, scholar, and activist working at the intersection of somatic therapy, spiritual practice, decolonization, and racial justice. Currently she is an Affiliate Assistant Professor in the Concordia Religions and Cultures Department.
