TEACHING AND LEARNING FROM A DECOLONIAL STANCE |
Having frank and open discussions is not easy, but it is necessary to tackle issues around discrimination and social justice from a decolonial perspective.
You are invited to join an online workshop designed to continue the conversation on systemic racism, anti-Indigenous racism, anti-Black racism and decolonizing education tools. The aim is to develop strategies on how to engage our students in decolonizing pedagogies using Indigenous ways of knowing.
