August 10, 2022 Toufah Jallow: How to Humanize and Accept Survivor Stories
Trigger Warning: this episode contains subject matter which includes sexual assault and domestic violence.

The stories told by sexual assault survivors are best told through their voice when they are ready, but that can mean secondary pain in the form of judgement, disbelief, and shame. It’s why so many survivors don’t speak their truths. Because words like “allegedly” take the power of their words and minimize them to protect their attacker’s rights. And it’s one of the reasons why Toufah Jallow does what she does. Jallow is an anti-rape activist who spoke at Concordia presents, The Walrus Talks: What’s Next? In Ottawa.

July 27, 2022 Andrea Gunraj: The 5 C's and the Care Economy

June 29, 2022 Chief Cadmus Delorme: The Future of Truth and Reconciliation
Generation Y inherited the truth of the 60s scoop, residential schools, and treaties, they did not create it, but Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians have the responsibility of facing that truth. Many generations of Indigenous Canadians have been living in a sort of horizontal survival mode - because their vertical lineage leads straight back to those truths.

Indigenous peoples face some of the highest levels of poverty in Canada. According to many people, including Candice Shaw, these inequalities are the intended result of colonial systems.

May 04, 2022 Fae Johnstone: Mental Health Is about More than Self-care
Our society has taken steps to improve awareness and understanding on the stigmas of mental health.

April 20, 2022 Jake Stika: Redefining What It Means to Be a Man
“Man up,” “be a man,” and “don’t be a girl” are phrases that boys often hear while growing up. They send the message that men should always project toughness, stoicism, and independence.

April 06, 2022 Kate Harris: Satisfying Our Inner Explorer
Humans have an innate desire to explore. It’s what drove our early ancestors to migrate out of Africa and why modern humans dream of one day landing on Mars. But according to Kate Harris, we don’t need to travel to another planet to satisfy our collective need for exploration. We just need to find a deeper sense of belonging to the one we live on. Harris is the author of Lands of Lost Borders and she spoke at The Walrus Talks: Exploration in 2020.
