Drawing on her expertise as an advocate for Indigenous rights and as a prominent scholar.

Our 2023 Symposium themed “Empathy Towards a More Caring World“, brought people of all walks of life to hear our speakers discuss the importance of developing a more caring world through empathy. Without an empathic citizenry, you cannot have a caring society. A caring society aspires to leave no one out. Its citizens respond to the needs of others, understanding that it strengthens the whole.
