This episode of Taking Up Space is exploring the complexity of Indigeneity on the unceded territories of the Lkwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples. It features conversations on Indigeneity, Indigenous resilience, and Indigenous feminism. Our panelists, who each come from different parts of Turtle Island, are here to share their experiences of living as an Indigenous person in present-day Canada, and how colonialism and the strength of their communities in the face of colonialism has shaped their own identity.

Ann-Bernice Thomas hosts a panel with Caroline Grady, Oic. ȻESTÁNIYE Mataya Jim, Veronica Martisius, and Lisa Schnitzler to talk about the intersections of Indigeneity, gender, land, justice, resistance and resilience.

In this episode we feature a territory acknowledgement, discussion on the Douglas Treaty, and Indigenous resurgence by Oic. ȻESTÁNIYE Mataya Jim and poetry by Shayli Robinson.

This Taking Up Space episode features conversations on allyship in all of its forms. It can be difficult to understand allyship as it is a multi-faceted, complex idea, and changes in relation to the needs and situations of the individual or individuals you’re supporting.                              

Ann-Bernice Thomas hosts a panel discussion with Tada Hozumi, the author of ‘The Selfish Activist’s Guide to Allyship’, Sharon Doty, the president of the LGBTQ2+ support group ‘PFLAG’, and Bradley Clements, a member of the men’s circle, a branch of UVic’s Anti Violence Project.

This episode includes a short step-by-step guide to allyship and a feature on PFLAG [more].

In this episode of Taking Up Space we feature conversations on personal space, body autonomy, and consent. While discussions about consent and autonomy are becoming increasingly prevalent in feminist spaces, it’s important to include marginalized folks, who have to fight harder to maintain their own bodily autonomy, in these conversations. A warning that this episode deals with mature content, specifically revolving around sexual assault, so listener discretion is advised.

The panel discussion is hosted by Ann-Bernice Thomas and features the voices and perspectives of Melanie, Quinn, and Tiffany.

This episode also includes a step-by-step guide to consent as well as a spotlight on local organization PEERS Victoria Resource Society.

This episode features conversations on class, economic capital, and economic inequality. These conversations can often be looked over in academic feminist spaces, and it’s really important to have them, as class privilege weighs very heavily on whether or not marginalized folks can have a voice.

In this episode’s panel, hosted by Ann-Bernice, Sarah Graham and Sumbal Sabah both share stories of feeling the pressure that class carries with it from very different backgrounds.

Also included in this episode is poetry by Maita Cienska and a spotlight on Our Place Society.

This final episode wraps up the podcast season by featuring conversations on intersectional feminism. As we wrap up this season of Taking Up Space, it’s important to come back to the main theme of this program and get a better understanding of what encompasses all of these intersecting political stances. We attempt to answer the question: what is intersectional feminism? Our panelists for this episode are Jo-Anne Lee and Chaw-win-is, two academics who have spent some of their time researching and teaching topics encompassing intersectional feminism.

This episode features poetry by Ann-Bernice Thomas and a segment explaining intersectional feminism featuring Kat Stark.

In 2015, The Royal Winnipeg Ballet made headlines across Canada when news broke that multiple women were accusing Bruce Monk, a choreographer and teacher of coercing them into taking nude or semi nude photos when they were underaged students at the school. We sit down with two of the women, Sarah Doucet and Serena McCarroll, currently leading a class-action lawsuit against Monk about their experiences over the past 15 years pursuing justice. This Episode is part 1 in a two parter detailing women’s experiences with abuse and harassment in Ballet.
