The Stories Suicide Tells: Relationships with Land, Water, and Justice (with Special Guest Jeffrey Ansloos‪)‬ UnLivable Cultures

    • Society & Culture

How is suicide an issue of justice? How should our care for people experiencing suicidality  connect with the Land and Water in which people live? What does it mean to care for the life of Land and Water as well as the lives of people? Special guest Dr. Jeffrey Ansloos joins us for a conversation about how colonialism features in the creation of unlivable conditions, threatening the well-being of Indigenous and First Nations communities in particular.

Jeffrey Ansloos is an Associate Professor of Indigenous Health and Social Policy at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. Prof. Ansloos is a community health, social policy, community psychology, and Indigenous studies scholar, with a global reputation for his research on Indigenous health justice and social and environmental dimensions of mental health, suicide, and houselessness.
