Disrupting Colonialism through Teaching Program
Project + Final Report Archive
In 2018, Episkenew Fellow, Dolores van der Wey, ran a pilot offering of Disrupting Colonialism through Teaching: An Integrated Seminar Series and Grants Program funded by SFU's Aboriginal Strategic Initiative (ASI). Disrupting Colonialism through Teaching was built in response to a growing number of applications to the Teaching and Learning Development Grants program for projects that incorporate Indigenous topics, issues, perspectives or ways of knowing into SFU courses. The program aims to address the concerns expressed by the Aboriginal Reconciliation Council that, “Decolonizing curricula and incorporating Indigenous knowledge may be difficult for non-Indigenous faculty, and well intentioned but misguided efforts may in fact cause harm” (p. 6, ARC executive summary). Through fourteen three-hour seminars, spread over an academic year, participants developed the knowledge and skills necessary to both identify colonialism within their discipline and teaching as well as enact changes to decentre it.
