The Department of Gender Studies Speakers' Series invites you to a presentation by Kim Wakeford, Master of Gender Studies Candidate, entitled "Disavowing Colonialism: Federal Government Reports and Statements about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women."

Through a Foucauldian-influenced discourse analysis of government reports and statements, this thesis explores the Canadian Federal Government’s understanding and representation of the massive overrepresentation of Indigenous women in homicide and abduction statistics. Throughout the presentation, I will present some preliminary findings from my analysis in order to argue for better, more intersectional policy development on this issue.
