Meaningful Integration of Indigenous Epistemologies and Pedagogies

Instructor: Jaimie Kechego

This workshop was offered on September 13, 2021.

Indigenization of curriculum requires much more than adding Indigenous content. In an education system that has, since its inception and into the present day, valued Western ways of thinking almost exclusively, Indigenization of curriculum requires us to bring Indigenous ways of thinking, being, and learning into course design. This recorded workshop provides a discussion of Indigenous epistemologies and pedagogies and how these can be interwoven in curriculum design and development.
