Congrats @DhkBeau on a successful doctoral comprehensive exam on First Nations agriculture and food security during the contact period and a re-examination of Indigenous plant knowledge through an Interdisciplinary lens and implications for a new modern agricultural narrative.

“Day 12 of the Strike: This is not where we want to be—but we remain here because the future of this university, and our students, matters. Still here. Still ready. Still committed to a healthy, hopeful Laurentian.” @lufappul @LaurentianU

[Dr. Taima Moeke-Pickering She/Her 🐶🌈 @tmoekepickering]

End of Week 2 of Strike: advancing the narrative “LUFA’s proposals were never fixed or final—they were intentionally tabled to enable real bargaining and resolution. LUFA reaffirmed to the President our readiness to return to the bargaining table.” @LaurentianU @lufappul

[Dr. Taima Moeke-Pickering She/Her 🐶🌈 @tmoekepickering]

“Day 8 of Strike: Still here. Still hopeful. Still committed to our students and communities. The path forward is still at the table. We are ready for meaningful, respectful talks.” @LaurentianU @lufappul

[Dr. Taima Moeke-Pickering She/Her 🐶🌈 @tmoekepickering]

Week 2 of Strike: Still here. Still united. Still standing for a hopeful, healing university. This action is about care, future generations, and the restoration of academic balance. @lufappul @LaurentianU

[Dr. Taima Moeke-Pickering She/Her 🐶🌈 @tmoekepickering]

Day 4 of Strike: Still far apart. Still standing for dignity, care, and the future of Laurentian. @lufappul @LaurentianU

[Dr. Taima Moeke-Pickering She/Her 🐶🌈 @tmoekepickering]

Day 3 of Strike: Laurentian Professors standing for the future of learning, not just the bottom line. @lufappul @LaurentianU

[Dr. Taima Moeke-Pickering She/Her 🐶🌈 @tmoekepickering]

When our university faced insolvency, faculty leaned in.
We worked hard to ensure that programs continued, that students were supported, & the institution remained standing. Now, we are on strike. Dear President and Board of Governors: Lean in with us @lufappul @LaurentianU

[Dr. Taima Moeke-Pickering She/Her 🐶🌈 @tmoekepickering]

A sustainable university is one that sustains its professors @lufappul @LaurentianU #GoodTrouble

[LUFAPPUL @lufappul]

Yesterday’s picket captain training was an absolute success. The solidarity and commitment from our 24 captains is nothing short of outstanding.

We are LUFA!

[LUFAPPUL @lufappul]

It is official. As of 12:01am, LUFA members will officially be on strike for a better, stronger university. 📢

Together we will win the contract we deserve. 🪧

[Dr. Taima Moeke-Pickering She/Her 🐶🌈 @tmoekepickering]

Just arrived!! Grateful for the voices, teachings, and relationships that shaped it. May it inspire justice, healing, and transformation for women in higher education.

[Shubha Sandill @DrShubhaSandill]

Kicking off the summer with some exciting news - our book project "Women Transforming the Future of Higher Education" has officially been published! I was thrilled to co-edit this book alongside my brilliant colleagues @DrSLauricella & @tmoekepickering!⬇️
