DESCRIPTION:In this presentation, Dr. Mariam Georgis will explore the meaning and 
 workings of colonialism and how it connects Indigenous peoples globally. 
 She will explore how anticolonial struggles connect Assyrians in the 
 homeland to Assyrians in the Diaspora, and to First Nations in the 
 Americas. What does our resistance look like? What do we have in common 
 with decolonial struggles and movements for social justice and 
 transformation such as Land Back, Idle No More, Standing Rock, Black Lives 
 Matter, Sanctuary City, LGBTQ2S+ and others? How can we think about our 
 complicity in the settler-colonial projects of the Americas, given our 
 context as Indigenous peoples who have been dispossessed from our native 
 homeland through colonialism and have arrived to settle and benefit from 
 stolen Indigenous land? In thinking about Assyrians’ connections with 
 these movements and groups, she will explore the meaning of solidarity. 
 What does solidarity look like? How can we show up for others and be allies 
 in their struggles? She will conclude the talk with an exploration of how 
 solidarity defines and grounds us in our own Assyrian identity, both in the 
 homeland and in the Diaspora.\n
