More on ISCEI and its Writer-in-Residence program:

The Writer-in-Residence program is one of the initiatives funded by the five-year,  by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in June 2019 to support À¦°óSMÉçÇø’s Indigenous Studies and Community Engagement Initiative (ISCEI). The ISCEI promotes the growth of the Indigenous Studies Program in the Faculty of Arts, and aims to serve as a nexus for Indigenous scholarship and community-building and to facilitate communication and collaboration across units at À¦°óSMÉçÇø, as well as in partnership with Indigenous communities.

The Writer in Residence program brings Indigenous writers to campus to continue their creative work, share their expertise, interact with students and faculty members, and enhance knowledge of and exposure to Indigenous writing among the campus community and the public at large.
