After community members raised concerns surrounding Ryerson’s namesake, the Mash Koh Wee Kah Pooh Win Standing Strong Task Force has come forward with 22 points of action on how the university can acknowledge and address its colonial legacy. The university has accepted all 22 recommendations, including a call to rename the university. In this episode, Task Force Co-Chair, Elder Joanne Dallaire, and Faculty of Science Dean, Dave Cramb, chat about the task force's process and what allyship to the Indigenous community means in academia and in our personal lives.
The university invites community members to fill out a survey to share their ideas, opinions and perspectives on a new name. The survey will be open until December 7th 2021. https://www.ryerson.ca/next-chapter/renaming-process/community-survey/
