This graduate-level credit course employs a two-eyed seeing
approach to Indigenizing teaching and learning in higher education.
Through reflection, story-telling, and dialogue, students will
explore critical questions of Indigenization, what it means in the
context of teaching and learning, and why it is important. In-class
activities will model Indigenous pedagogies and take a relational
and collaborative approach to fostering allyship, avoiding
appropriation, and identifying various strategies to balance
Indigenous approaches with Western conventions. Students will have
the opportunity to engage in experiential, land-based, and
relational learning from an Indigenous perspective and reflect on
how they might apply these approaches to their own courses and
disciplines.
