Pedagogy and content

Indigenous pedagogy is at the discretion of our faculty members and varies within courses and programs. Faculty may invite First Nations community members into the classroom or take field trips to First Nations communities. Many support and respect First Nations cultural expectations, discuss Indigenous issues and current events, participate in cultural awareness seminars, and endeavour to be sensitive and inclusive in the design and delivery of their courses.

Each year, more and more of our courses are reviewed with an Indigenization lens.
