Researcher, Artist University of Toronto Toronto, ON, Canada
Join Dene Artist Lisa Boivin for a visually interactive keynote. Lisa uses image-based storytelling to respond to the dearth of Indigenous content in rehabilitation science research. While there is literature revealing clinical barriers caused by colonialism, intergenerational trauma, and a lack of cultural safety. It is incomplete because it does not offer strength-based narratives that authentically reflect the identity of Indigenous people. Using collages and paintings, she has created, Lisa will confront some of the colonial problems that arise in rehabilitation science and offer Indigenous teachings to resolve them.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will gain a basic knowledge of Canada’s colonial history as it relates to the health outcomes of Indigenous people and populations.
