October
Decolonizing Classrooms: Unpacking and Overcoming Barriers to Decolonizing Processes, Part 1
Over the past several years, an important discussion of how we can Indigenize and decolonize the academy has been occurring. This new workshop series aims to give participants the context and tools necessary to meaningfully engage with decolonizing processes as they relate to education. “Unpacking and Overcoming Barriers to Engagement and Decolonizing Processes” explores the barriers that exist for instructors and students, which prevent them from enacting decolonizing processes in educational contexts. This workshop also discusses the colonial barriers that prevent students from engaging fully in classrooms. Strategies for overcoming these barriers are considered, and participants are supported as they begin to learn how to utilize these strategies to support decolonizing processes in their classrooms.
