Today we honour survivors of residential schools, their families, and the communities forever impacted. Reconciliation lives in what we teach, collect, and research. We must choose to challenge colonial narratives, and make space for Indigenous voices and ways of knowing.

Congratulations to the @dalfaculty.bsky.social for their steadfast work to secure a fair deal for their members. We were proud to stand beside you every step of the way. Let's hope that the nonsense that was wrought upon you will never be witnessed again.

It's been almost four weeks since the @dalhousieu.bsky.social lockout of DFA faculty began. Progress has been made. Now, it's time for President Brooks to step in and get the Board to accept what is a fair and reasonable offer by the DFA. Let's get on with the term. #keepdalstrong

The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors is NOT delivering on their mandate. These are a few of the more obvious areas in which they are failing the university community. What will they do to clean up this mess they have created? #KeeDalStrong

@dalfaculty.bsky.social know how to hold a solidarity rally!
@caut.bsky.social members from across the country; $1M donation from CAUT Defence Fund and the DFA letter to the BOG taped to the doors (locked, of course)

Instead of teaching and research this will count as service to the profession!

The one-sided and propaganda-style emails going out to all @dalhousie.bsky.social students and staff (except the @dalfaculty.bsky.social ) is so short sighted.

How about the Uni ‘leaders’ communicate with the DFA and settle this properly?!
