Re-Storying Education: Decolonizing your practice with a critical lens

Book talk with Speaker, Author and Indigenous academic Carolyn Roberts

Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025 at 4:30 p.m., RFP 214/215

 

Re-Storying education focuses on integrating Indigenous narratives and perspectives into the curriculum of our current education system. By dismantling old narratives and using story to create new narratives, this approach emphasizes the importance of using a critical lens, truth telling, and stories as methods for teaching and learning.  By recognizing the value of Indigenous knowledge and teacher practice in how we can reimagine education, Carolyn aims to create a more inclusive and culturally relevant curriculum that honours Indigenous people, histories and knowledges.

Carolyn Roberts uses her voice to support Indigenous resurgence through education. She is a St’at’imc and Sto:lo woman belonging to the Thevarge family from N’quatqua Nation and the Kelly Family from the Tzeachten Nation and under the Indian act she is a member of the Squamish Nation.
