Beyond the Jargon

In this episode, theatre grad student, Lindsay Delaronde shares her journey in academia and how her trajectories of personal growth influenced her desires of being in the healing field. From fine arts, to counselling; from art therapy to theatre; from land-based to academia settings. Lindsay shares her processes of working with and in community while working in academia and how she keeps the balance between the civic engagement and the expectations of the scholarly world. Her work adds to the decolonizing efforts of many others Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, students, and community members at the University of Victoria.  Lindsay has been genuine, brave and honest to her own values and pathways while processing real struggles in the life journey. Currently, she is ready to embark in an exciting new future endeavours as the recently awarded Audain Professorship from the Department of Visual Arts. With this episode, we celebrate diversity, beauty and the different ways of being and doing at the University of Victoria.
