From: Laura Forsythe Sent: November-29-17 10:54 AM To: Laura Forsythe Subject: Re: University of Manitoba NSGSA Call for abstracts. Tansi! Hello! Boozhoo! Reminder Deadline Approaching Please share with your grad students working in Indigenous knowledge and Indigenous studies. Last year our program featured scholars from agriculture to zoology. Attached is our call for abstracts please forward to potential speakers. Our conference last year resulted in a book publication with Sense Publishing. Rising Up: A Graduate Students Conference on Indigenous Knowledge and Research in Indigenous Studies is an international gathering held annually. Rising Up attracts scholars in all forms of Indigenous research with approximately 90 representatives from around the world to showcase their work. 15 Scholars have already been selected due to their exemplary work. The University of Manitoba Native Studies Graduate Students Association (NSGSA) is hosting the third annual two-day conference for all graduate students to lead the discussion across all disciplines and allow graduates to present their knowledge and research. Due to the interdisciplinary and international character, the Review Committee welcomes a comprehensive range of topics and approaches. This year's conference is highlighted by our Friday keynote speaker, Adam Guadry, from the University of Alberta who will share with the Graduate students the process of becoming successful in academia and how to publish. On Saturday, we will welcome Keynote Chantal Fiola from the University of Winnipeg to speak about her research in the Metis community. Saturday evening we will be screening the documentary More than a Word prior to our Indigenous social. "Rising Up" was conceived on the premise of bringing students and the grassroots community together. It is a free event and welcomes everybody, which we felt was an important element in bringing the greatest amount of people together. We believe we created an event that allows graduate students and community members to share their knowledge, present their research, network, and acquire critical feedback, while also discover what other graduate students are doing in a related field of research. It is our hope that the presenters and audience will have fun and enjoy themselves, while meeting new people and, of course, learning about what's going on in the field of Indigenous research.

The attached material describes the program, which is designed to grow the discussion around sustainable food systems on our campus as well as in the national and global context. They are hoping to involve some of our academics with familiarity in production agriculture. Please share the materials with colleagues in your department. Based on my brief review, it appears that they have had considerable input from relevant to social interests, but there is room to improve on the life science aspects (including human nutrition/health and production agriculture and food processing options). This is a good fit with the University’s interests in sustainability. For those interested, Hannah can be reached at -- *Hannah Chan* Undergraduate Student, B.Sc.
