This interdisciplinary forum of leading scholars and thinkers will feature commentary about the past, present, and future of B.C. studies. We invite all participants to join in discussion and share thoughts about the state of the field. In particular, we hope this session will reflect on how we might best approach the study of British Columbia through greater engagement with diverse ways of knowing and being.
Each panelists will present for about 7 minutes and after the forum will open up to Q & A.
