DESCRIPTION:Please join us for talk by Andrew Stobo Sniderman\, currently a
 n O'Brien Fellow in Residence at the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Plu
 ralism.\n\nAbstract\n\nWhy do Indigenous students on reserve receive less 
 government investment in their educations than other Canadians? How did ne
 ighbours become separate and unequal? Andrew Stobo Sniderman is trying to 
 answer these questions by studying 140 years of history of a reserve and t
 he neighbouring town in rural Manitoba. His research explores a case of di
 scrimination from the perspectives of an Indigenous community and a non-In
 digenous community. Unequal education funding is a symptom of a larger pro
 blem: there is no basic agreement on what “equality” and “fairness” mean o
 r require.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nAndrew Stobo Sniderman is a lawyer and 
 writer. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto's law school\, Swart
 hmore College and Oxford University\, where he was a Rhodes scholar. He ha
 s worked for Justice Edwin Cameron at South Africa’s Constitutional Court\

 e Canadian Association of Journalists for his profile of Canada’s Truth an

 ument before the Supreme Court of Canada\, in a case about the constitutio
