Description

On December 2, 1984, the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, leadked poisonous methyl isocyanate gas, killing at least 15,000 people and permanently injuring hundreds of thousands more. Twenty years later, amid charges of corruption, graft and suppression of research results, the victims are still not adequately compensated and cared for. Journalist Raajkumar Keswani, who foresaw the disaster, documents the legacy and introduces us to leading scientists, doctors and activists in his search for justice.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
