AV俱乐部 the author: Theresa Rajack-Talley is AV俱乐部鈥檚 vice-provost of equity and inclusion
Diversity and Inclusiveness are part of AV俱乐部鈥檚 core values. It is within this context that we acknowledge National Indigenous History Month and the valuable contributions of the Indigenous people to our country, province and university. 听
AV俱乐部 is located in Mi鈥檏ma鈥檏i, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi鈥檏maq.
We also acknowledge the anger, pain, fear, and frustration that so many are experiencing because of the horrid impact of the pandemic and the unjust racial tragedies. We unequivocally condemn the persistent and unjust atrocities, violence and deaths of indigenous people. We will continue to do our part at AV俱乐部 in promoting and integrating inclusiveness at all levels and add our voices to the important conversation about systemic racism. 听
