Anita Lal (Poetic Justice Foundation), Dr Neha Gupta (UBC Okanagan) and Dr Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra (Belonging Matters) have been awarded a Community University Engagement Support (CUES) grant from the University of British Columbia. They will collaborate on bringing a series of community events on anti-racist and anti-casteist narratives with, and alongside multi-faith, multi-lingual South Asian communities residing in the Okanagan, BC. Specifically, the community-university partnership will combine efforts to raise awareness about the intersectional experience of race and caste in workplaces, educational and social spaces, and promote reciprocal learning through community speaker events, a travelling exhibit and teach-in activities alongside diverse communities including domestic and international students and young professionals in the Okanagan.

Dr Neha Gupta represented the DARE lab at the recent Indigenous Archaeology Forum held in Westbank First Nation. She was invited to the forum by the Westbank Archaeology Office.
