“We must continue to have empathy for each other, to learn from each other and to find ways that together we can imagine a different future.”

As communities celebrate National Indigenous History Month and honour the heart work led by Indigenous colleagues, past and present, Dr. Florence Glanfield offers her perspective on recent events, and how we must move forward with empathy in the collective work to bring communities together.

Black History Month is a time for us to come together to honour contributions, achievements, and lived experiences of Black Canadians. It is also an opportunity to collectively listen, engage, and learn about Black Canadian histories and the cultures of newcomers, which greatly contribute to society.

Throughout February, we'll be sharing events, stories, and profiles celebrating the work of Black researchers, faculty, students and alumni who are leading with purpose. #UAlberta #BlackHistoryMonth
