In order to amplify minoritized stories regarding the outdoors on Western’s campus, this project focused on hosting a film screening of the documentary, Expedition Reclamation. The film presents the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and other women of color in outdoor recreation, and provides alternative narratives around the term “outdoorsy.” The film screening occurred during Earth Week as part of a larger host of events and activities on campus; about 70-80 people attended – students, staff, faculty, and community members. After the screening, members of the film participated in a Q&A session, talking about their personal experiences with the film production
