Current and former contributors to the Indigenous Environmental Justice Project came together for the Indigenous Environmental Justice Research Symposium on November 23, 2019. The symposium posed an opportunity for students, researchers and activists to present a diverse range of projects and to bolster future opportunities for collaboration between Indigenous peoples and the York community. From methods used to lessons learned, presentations were shared with approximately 85 attendees who were encouraged to dialogue with the presenters.
