Navigating the Tyranny of Efficiency with Len Pierre

In this lecture, Len Pierre discusses what it means to center cultural safety through an Indigenous world view, within, what he calls the “tyranny of efficiency”. This tyranny refers to the way in which institutions prioritize quick fixes over meaningful change, leading to surface level approaches and virtue signaling. The online event took place on February 29, 2024 and was the last of four lectures in the Taking Action series. The Taking Action! series was a partnership between SFU and the Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network, a provincial government program that connects B.C. communities with support, information and training to prevent and respond to incidents of racism and hate. -- To stay updated on news and future events from SFU Public Square, follow us on these channels!
