DESCRIPTION:The Faculty of Law welcomes Professor Marilyn Poitras for a tal
 k on missing and murdered Indigenous women.\n\nAbstract\n\nWhat are we lea
 rning from the heterosexual\, transgendered and two-spirited women and gir
 ls sacrificed in violence within our communities?\n\nHearing about the los
 s of a community member to violence may bring us all to a sobering second 
 thought\, may change the dynamic of our family\, our community\, or our ve
 ry personhood. This kind of loss is cause to look over your shoulder\, loc
 k your door\, pull your sweater a little tighter around you\, your family 
 a little closer\, may push you to numbness\, or to live on the edge a litt
 le further. It may find you challenging life itself to come out and take y
 ou on. We all try to make sense of violence and then try to continue on wi
 th our lives. How? What do we learn though this loss? What might we learn?
  How can we honour the feminine?\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nMarilyn Poitras i
