Faculty Reading Circle – Wayi Wah! Indigenous Pedagogies By Jo Chrona

Summary

Join faculty and colleagues in teaching roles as we launch a new reading circle for the fall term. We’ll meet weekly online for reflection, question and discussion in response to the book: Wayi Wah! Indigenous Pedagogies -An Act for Reconciliation and Anti-Racist Education by Jo Chrona. This group is suitable for those beginning their journey in decolonial teaching as well as those looking to continue on this path with a shared community.

This reading circle can be customized for your faculty or your department. Please reach out to find out more.

Description 

About the Book:

“This powerful and engaging resource is for non-Indigenous educators who want to learn more, are new to these conversations, or want to deepen their learning.” Portage and Main Press

“With a compassionate and plain-spoken voice, the author walks us through chapters on the role of educators in reconciliation and decolonization, Indigenous education and Indigenous-informed pedagogy, understanding systemic racism, and more. Every chapter includes questions for reflections, ways to take action, and resources for further learning and classroom use.” Education Canada Magazine
