AB In this Working Paper, we analyse attempts at decolonizing domestic relations in place in Canadian universities and museums. Canada is among the settler colonial states that confront their violence history and its present implications, inter alia with systematic research and evidence based policy recommendations: the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada issued a report about its 7-years’ long work in 2015, and the Canadian government declared the willingness to push through what the TRC recommended as calls to action, to foster post-colonial peace in the country. But what does that actually imply in a country that was built on the deep intrusions of settler colonialism? How have state institutions reacted to the call? Universities and museums are key state institution when it comes to spreading narratives and images of the violent past for the present and the future. We found a spectrum of initiatives and institutions with varying degrees of commitment. The data and most different examples from the spectrum illustrate how contested and ambivalent decolonizing work remains to be.
