#LandAcknowledgements (or Territorial Acknowledgements) have come up quite a few times on Twitter and in person this week, so while it’s fresh I thought I’d share my perspective/practice in relation to #Science and #Academia (a thread 🧵)
I budget time for a personal introduction + land acknowledgment at the start of each talk, seminar, course etc.
I prefer to make this as meaningful as possible, but often we’re so time constrained I’m forced to kept it brief (2-3 min is as ‘brief’ as I’ll go) /2

Since the sciences are not accustomed to intros+ land acknowledgements I often include an explanation as to why we do such things
E.g., significance as Indigenous protocol, importance unsettling settler spaces, process reality of colonialism, value of representation, etc. /3
