The 2018 Stapleford Lecture at the University of Regina will feature Globe and Mail reporter Nancy Macdonald, whose award-winning reporting has highlighted the devastating degree to which Indigenous peoples are affected by racism and racialized violence, particularly in the Prairie provinces.

Macdonald will present a lecture entitled Are Prisons Canada’s New Residential Schools? on Wednesday, March 21 at 7:00 PM in the Research and Innovation Centre (RIC 119).

Her lecture will point to the surging incarceration rates of Indigenous people and explain how a biased justice system works against Indigenous accused at each step in the criminal process.
