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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this talk, McGregor will highlight the philosophy referred to by the Anishinabek as mino-naadmodzawin<\/em> (\u201cliving well\u201d or the \u201cgood life.\u201d) The philosophy considers the critical importance of mutually respectful and beneficial relationships \u2013 not only among peoples, but also among all our relations.  Mino-naadmodzawin <\/em>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture will be preceded by a reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
