The Dr. John Archer Library & Archives is pleased to host, in partnership with Fernwood Publishing, the launch of Dr. Emily Grafton's new book titled Divided Power How Federalism Undermines Reconciliation. Join Lori Campbell, Associate Vice President of Indigenous Engagement at the University of Regina, in conversation with Emily about her new book. Divided Power explores how Canadian federalism, rooted in the settler colonial dispossession of Indigenous Peoples, impedes reconciliation.

The Dr. John Archer Library & Archives will be hosting a book talk on October 7, 2025, at noon. University of Regina professor & author Ken Wilson's new memoir Walking the Bypass is about his experiences walking alongside the decidedly pedestrian-unfriendly Regina Bypass, all while situating the highway within the ongoing history of settler colonialism in southern Saskatchewan.

Fellow author and professor Jesse Archibald Barber will talk with Ken Wilson about how his journeys on foot allowed him to reflect on the profound transformations to the land since the arrival of settlers and helped him to form a connection with the land through walking—even on the gravelly edge of the freeway—the kind of place we think of as "nowhere."

After the book talk, refreshments will be served and books will be available for sale. The author will be pleased to sign copies. Don't miss out on what promises to be a lively discussion!

This is a hybrid event that will be both in-person and live streamed.
