On November 18, for its last Speaker Series of the year and first event off campus, IRSI invited Dr. Robert Henry to speak about Indigenous Street Gangs and the Impact of Settler Colonialism. Dr.Henry has worked alongside Indigenous street youth and gang members across the Prairie Provinces for more than a decade.
His collaborative photo-voice research method allows participants to take photographs of what’s important to them, effectively telling their own stories, in their own ways. The resulting visual narratives that emerge are intimate and moving, often showing lesser-told stories of hope and resilience, complexity and challenge, that define these marginalized communities.
Robert Henry, Ph.D., is Métis from Prince Albert, SK and is an Assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan, in the Department of Indigenous Studies
