Decolonizing Education

Canadian education systems are inherently colonial systems. In a time of Truth and Reconciliation, Decolonization, and Indigenization, many academic institutions are aiming to decolonize or reconcile their organizations. Establishing Indigenous Cultural Safety within the institution will set a strong foundation for future advancement of decolonization and reconciliation in higher education. In this session, we will examine the context for colonialism in higher education, how to address it, and embed Indigenous Cultural Safety in pedagogy, practice, and policy.
