“Because we need each other”: A Roundtable on Black-Indigenous Solidarities

Dr. Barbara McNeil is an Associate Professor, in the Faculty of Education, at the University of Regina. 

Curious and passionate, Barbara believes in the open-endedness of agency and hope in relation to the power and value of language, literature, literacy, and cultural/pedagogical sites such as museums, libraries and art-galleries to engender social justice and equity for all. She is committed to using arts-based approaches to work collaboratively, compassionately, and ethically with children and youth of underserved/marginalized communities in the interest of imagining and creating better worlds for self and all planetary others. Overall, Barbara’s research orients toward justice, collective well-being, and the ‘not yet’ of our positive potentialities.
