2024 RADICAL POLICY SCHOOL
Radical Relationalities Toward Decolonial Futures Gallery
The first iteration of Radical Policy School (RPS) – now MAKE – welcomed 20 students and 12 faculty members in May 2024. Over four virtual sessions and three days in-person in Tkaronto (Toronto), the program focused on building radical relationalities between Indigenous, Black, and racialized communities toward decolonial futures.
Following the core program and gathering, the cohort reconvened in Fall 2024 to help inform future planning for the program. Scroll through below for a few highlights and reflections from the 2024 program:

Through the lens of radical relationalities, RPS 2024 explored how Indigenous, Black, and racialized relationalities can lead to social transformation.
My experience of RPS reinforced this belief. Being able to share space, hear the stories and testimonies of my classmates, and feel in my body the hurt, pain, and also joy of individual and shared trauma really took my understanding to a deeper level. "
I came into the program thinking I would learn theory and frameworks and some practical skills to add to my "toolkit". What I didn't expect was to have been pulled out of my comfort zone in many ways. I've learned that in order to build community you have to show up, in person.
