“Decolonization is as much a process as a goal.”Can decolonization be accomplished with continual oppression of Indigenous peoples? #LLCU322

The false information about our history allows for the cycle of inequality among Indigenous people to persist. #LLCU322

Being a settler means you have privilege and it is imperative that we acknowledge that. #LLCU322

Pop culture reinforces false stereotypes of Indigenous people, presenting them as if they are a character to be acted. #LLCU322

'Molora' makes a point of having both the victim and the perpetrator's voices heard, which was also a vital component of the TRC. #LLCU322

[Becky Longo @llcu322blongo]

The Ngqoko group as 'ordinary' African women represents 'ordinary' victims of the TRC, and how it could have happened to anyone. #LLCU322

[Jing Wang @llcu332jwang]

Women's stories are often unheard. Molora and TRC empower women by giving them the "microphone" to break that silence. #llcu322

It's important to recognize how influential the role of religion is on legal systems, especially seen in the TRC. #LLCU322

[Becky Longo @llcu322blongo]

The TRC recognized and emphasized the importance of hearing the victim's voice opposed to solely focusing on the offender. #LLCU322

[Madeline Heinke @llcu322mheinke]

TRC: "Individual amnesty for the perpetrator, truth for the society, and acknowledgement & reparations for the victim." #llcu322

[Jing Wang @llcu332jwang]

It's hard to discuss 'forced removals' without opening a bigger can of worms known as colonialism. #llcu322

Kafka's ideas are abstract and cannot be clearly articulated in his "micro"writing. #llcu322 #15

[Carling Bennett @llcu322cbennett]

Looking for complex meanings in the Law forms confusion & draws unintended conclusions. Try to understand it for what it is. #LLCU322 #15

"The Court wants nothing from you. It receives you when you come and it dismisses you when you go." #LLCU322

[Becky Longo @llcu322blongo]

The Trial provides an illustration of the inaccessibility of law. #LLCU322

[Lauren Lyons @llcu322llyons]

Joseph K. self-destructs under the absurdity and confusion of totalitarianism. #llcu322

[Becky Longo @llcu322blongo]

The parallels between religion and law are important to recognize as religion continues to play an influential role in courts today.#LLCU322
