Why representation panels can perpetuate academic colonization

I got invited to speak at a conference about 'Indigenous Perspectives on Gender' but when I asked about other speakers they're all white academics who study us.

Conferences about indigenous identity often center non-indigenous expertise, making community members tokens rather than authorities on their own experiences.
