SOCIAL ECONOMY
PANEL: ALICE CORBIERE, ROSALIND JOHNSTON AND JOSE A. REYES

Wednesday, March 28, 2007

252 Bloor St. West, Toronto
Room 12-199

The three panelists leading this discussion are Alice Corbiere, Rosalind Johnston and Jose Reyes of the Community Economic and Social Development (CESD) programme at Algoma University College.~ The panel will suggest that the current definition of the social economy may not be sufficiently inclusive to reflect the holistic worldview of indigenous peoples nor reflect the reality of First Nations governance.~ They will connect examples of First Nations development to international perspectives, and question whether the social economy research can be a tool for challenging the imposition of colonial models on indigenous peoples.
