This lecture will explore ideas for advancing environmental justice through engaging with Indigenous intellectual and legal traditions, and the potential for a renewed vision for achieving justice.
In this talk, McGregor will highlight the philosophy referred to by the Anishinabek as mino-naadmodzawin (鈥渓iving well鈥 or the 鈥済ood life.鈥) The philosophy considers the critical importance of mutually respectful and beneficial relationships 鈥 not only among peoples, but also among all our relations. Mino-naadmodzawin provides a foundation for a standard of conduct that will be required if society is to begin engaging in appropriate relationships with all of creation, thereby establishing a sustainable and just world.
The lecture will be preceded by a reception.
