Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning

In the second episode of the pair, we speak with Glen Coulthard.

Leanne and Glen are both faculty and board members with the Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning, an indigenous land-based study project based in northern Canada.

Due to some shifts in circumstance, we ended up speaking with Glen and Leanne separately about their involvement in Dechinta, but our conversations revolved around similar themes, and we hope that these two episodes weave together into a broader conversation.

We recommend listening first to this episode with Leanne and following it by listening to our episode with Glen.

All right.

We're excited to be in conversation with Glen Coulthard and Leanne Simpson to talk about the Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning.

Glen is Yellowknives Dene and an associate professor in political science and First Nations and Indigenous studies at the University of British Columbia, and the author of Red Skin, White Masks: Rejecting the Colonial Politics of Recognition, among other powerful works.
