She is a strong advocate for reducing victimization and preventing crimes.

Author of ?The Colonial Problem: An Indigenous Perspective on Crime and Injustice in Canada,? Monchalin travels internationally to share her work. She presently teaches at Kwantlen Polytechnic University where she developed the course, Criminology 4240: Aboriginal Peoples and Justice. Prior to her speech, there will be a reception at 6 p.m. in Dean Hall Lobby. Monchalin?s appearance is part of the CWU Social Justice and Human Rights Series. This year?s inaugural theme, Mass Incarceration and Racial Justice: Black and Brown Lives Do Matter, aims to educate Central?s community and initiate discussions about race.
