To mark Truth and Reconciliation Day, the Schulich School of Music would like to highlight the work of one of our graduate students in musicology, Linda Pearse. explores the performance she developed in collaboration with Wolastoq and Mi鈥檏maq musicians, as a way of finding bridges between different cultures, different ways of listening and making music.

The School of Music acknowledges that we have barely begun to undertake the process of reconciliation. We are now working to recognize how, as an institution, we are accountable and benefit from the colonial legacies of Canada. In doing so, we strive to create spaces for Indigenous students, teachers and researchers to find a meaningful place and voice in our School.

As a first step in initiating these conversations, the Chair of our Committee on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Lloyd Whitesell, has accepted an invitation from Prof. Dylan Robinson, a St贸:l艒 music scholar teaching at Queen鈥檚 University, to participate as a 鈥渨itness鈥 along with leaders from other music schools across Turtle Island (鈥楥anada鈥). In ongoing meetings, witnesses will share the challenges they are facing in seeking to transform their programs, and discuss how to be publicly accountable for what is taking place at their institutions.
