Honouring Nations Canada Speaker Series and Events

Throughout the year, Honouring Nations Canada hosted several speakers series and events. First, in honour of National Indigenous Peoples Day and in partnership with the Canadian Consulate in Miami, Carol Anne Hilton, CEO and Founder of the Idigenomics Institute and member of our HNC Circe of Advisors, spoke in depth about Idigenomics.

Next, in the Fall, the Samuel Centre for Social Connectedness hosted a Global Symposium where the Fulbright Canada HNC Circle of Advisors engaged in dialogue centred around inclusion and building systems of belonging.

Additionally, in October, a signing ceremony between Concordia University and Fulbright Canada was paired with an HNC Speaker Series Event entitled “Creative Art Therapy - Health Services grounded in Indigenous Practices.”

New Partnerships

We were thrilled to see our network grow with several new partnerships established this year. In September, there was a signing ceremony and the establishment of a Fulbright Canada Research Chair at the Université du Québec en Outaouais. Shortly after, the signing ceremony and establishment of a Fulbright Canada Research Chair at Adler University occurred. We look forward to seeing our partnerships continue to grow in the years to come!

In-Person Scholar Lectures

Fulbright Canada was pleased to see many in-person scholar lectures taking place this year and there were two that were a particular highlight. First, Dr. Howard Greenwald, Fulbright Canada Research Chair in Governance and Public Administration, spoke about Assessing Coalitions in Community Action.

Another lecture entitled “Avoiding a Climate Arms Race: Why We Need the Baruch Plan 2.0 for climate Geoengineering Governance” was delivered by Dr. Elizabeth L. Chalecki, Fulbright Canada Research Chair in CanadaU.S. Relations, at Carleton University’s Norman Paterson School of International Affairs.
