About the Journal
At the Forks: Where Indigenous and Human Rights Intersect is an open-access platform to highlight scholarship that engages in critical conversation around the connections, tensions, limits, and possibilities of Indigenous and human rights, with a focus on the prairies and its neighbours.
Current Issue
This is the fourth volume of At the Forks, a project that began in 2021. This was a time of social distancing, changing patterns, and public health regulations adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our goal was to develop a platform for accessible, engaging research that speaks to the pressing questions for people who live where the Centre for Human Rights Research (CHRR) works, and territories and communities connected to them. These include Indigenous people, lands, and waters amid a colonial project that has not ended. These also include questions of justice for migrant people, whether of the early twentieth century or today. Our questions also include the histories and rights of people as gendered subjects at a moment when reproductive rights and the rights of people to make decisions about their gender presentation and care are under threat.
