SUMMARY:TRC #57: Dr. James Tully
DESCRIPTION:What does reconciliation look like when it is understood not as a completed task\, but as an ongoing practice—here on earth\, in our everyday lives?\nRegister Now \nIn this reflective conversation\, Dr. James Tully invites our audience to think carefully about reconciliation as a practice of living well together\, rather than a policy outcome\, legal framework\, or symbolic gesture. Drawing from his chapter “Reconciliation Here on Earth\,” Tully explores how reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples is inseparable from our relationships with the living earth and with one another. \nRather than offering prescriptions or solutions\, Tully turns our attention to the everyday practices—political\, economic\, social\, and ecological—through which relationships are sustained\, strained\, or repaired. He reflects on what Indigenous teachings\, ecological understandings\, and traditions of non-violent democratic practice reveal about interdependence\, responsibility\, and limits in a time of overlapping social and environmental crises. \nThis conversation invites reflection on questions such as: \n\nWhat does it mean to practice reconciliation with others\, rather than reconcile to existing systems?\nHow do everyday habits of governance\, consumption\, and political life support—or undermine—reconciliation?\nWhat responsibilities arise when we understand ourselves as members of living\, interdependent communities?\n\nThrough careful reflection and grounded examples\, Tully invites audiences to move beyond reconciliation as a checklist or outcome and toward reconciliation as a lived practice—shaped within communities\, institutions\, and relationships with one another and the land. \nRegister Now \n \nResurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous–Settler Relations and Earth Teachings\nEdited by Michael Asch\, John Borrows and James Tully \nUse the code Resurgence2026 to get 20% off your purchase through University of Toronto Press\, plus\, get free shipping on orders over $40 \nPurchase a Copy \nBorrow a Copy
