Scholars like Thomas Malthus — whose work s are still taught today — asserted that Indigenous nations and confederac ies themselves embraced a mentality of disposability. Nothing could be fur ther from the truth\, writes professor emeritus Georges Sioui\, who descri bes how today’s world could benefit from understanding love for Mother Ear th as the basis for all actions. The mentality of disposability permeates today’s discussions of labour\, mobility\, trade and many other current is sues. Where can we find inspiration to heed the call of Sioui and others\, and what actions would we need to take as a consequence? From the capital city of a state that sends bullets to uphold genocide\, guest speaker Nad ia Abu-Zahra invites us to consider the paths forward.\n DTSTART:20250918T163000Z DTEND:20250918T180000Z LOCATION:Room 160\, Arts Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0G5\, 853 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Standing Against Genocide and Its Ripple Effects in Palestine and B eyond URL:/isid/channels/event/standing-against-genocide-and -its-ripple-effects-palestine-and-beyond-367429 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
