Changemakers Speakers Series: Dr. Andrea A. Davis

As part of the Fall 2023 Convocation celebrations, the Royal Roads Changemakers Speakers Series presents Dr. Andrea A. Davis: “To Be in Relation: Indigenous, Black and Other Solidarities”.

The event will feature Davis's presentation, some time in conversation with Royal Roads President and Vice-Chancellor Philip Steenkamp, and a question-and-answer session with your questions.

This event is open to the public and free to attend, but please register so we can hold your spot.

Dr. Andrea A. Davis is Professor of Black Cultures of the Americas in the Department of Humanities at York University in Toronto. Over the more than 20 years of her academic career, she has worked to advance equity, access and justice in post-secondary education, helping to diversify university curricula through the development of new courses and programs and supporting the success of racialized and first-generation students.

A leading scholar in Black Studies in Canada, her widely published interdisciplinary research is rooted in an anti-racism feminist theoretical framework that analyzes questions of race and gender through a focus on the literary and cultural productions of Black women, the location of Caribbean diasporic communities in Canada, and the constructions of Black youth masculinities.
