June 10, 2024 —Lucy Fowler is working at the intersection of Indigenous and queer identity to make the university experience and broader community more inclusive. “We need to be making more expansive spaces … where people can express who they are, however they are, and come to that space and be welcomed,” Fowler said of her work at the university. Fowler is helping to develop a U of M Indigenous education post-doctoral program, co-founded the Pawaatamihk: Journal of Métis Thinkers academic journal, and is co-hosting a Métis studies symposium this fall with over 300 scholars expected to attend. She has also been part of the Mamawi Project, in which she and others have hosted gatherings for Métis people. Visit CBC News to read more about Dr. Lucy Fowler’s community work
