Soc Studies & Indigenous Ed PJ
This course explores the histories and geographies of marginalized social groups
with a focus on Indigenous and settler relationships across Turtle Island. This
course provides a practical and conceptual introduction to teaching Social
Studies using an activist and strength-based lens in the context of Indigenous
(First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) understandings and perspectives. It consists of a
series of weekly themes which prioritize non-hegemonic curriculum content and
pedagogies. The course provides opportunities to develop practical
understandings through lesson planning, assessment strategies, and the
weaving of Indigenous and Western epistemologies in Primary/Junior
classrooms. The course focuses on the intersection of micro and macro
relationships and power dynamics to advance the role of the educator as an
advocate and activist for equity and social justice, as well as learning ways to
support Primary/Junior students in being advocates and activists.
Registration Notes: Only available to Bachelor of Education students.
