KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Anna Marie Robertson - Paul Harris Fellow & Global Grants Scholar in Peace & Conflict Resolution

 

Dr. Carrie Smith - Vice-Provost, University of Alberta

As Vice-Provost (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion), her research is located at the intersection of feminist activism with creative production and digital culture, including practices, products, politics, theories, and communities.

A second research strand takes up an investment in a just academy to examine scholar-activism and the transformation of leadership through feminist pedagogies. In both projects, she is interested in what happens when inventive structures and infrastructures begin in collaboration.

 

Tammy Cunnington - Paralympian & World Record Holder

36 years ago Tammy was injured when a plane crashed at the Ponoka airshow. From near death at 6 years old to a Paralympian at 40, Tammy brings a message of perseverance, resilience and encouragement in her public speaking engagements.

Tammy is an advocate for health, fitness and sport, encouraging others by being an ambassador for Fast and Female and The Rick Hansen Foundation. 

Tammy’s motto is Passion = Victory, and she applies this to all areas of her life and works to instill it in those around her.
