Decolonization, Indigenization and Reconciliation for Employees
Date and Time
Location
In-Person, U of G Guelph Campus
Details
This course supports university employees in moving from awareness to meaningful action. Participants will explore Indigenous ways of knowing and teaching, how they differ from settler knowledge systems, and how they can be respectfully integrated into classrooms, programs, and daily work - so practices like Land Acknowledgements are actionable rather than performative.
The session will address how staff and faculty can contribute to reconciliation within their units, including practical ways to act on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. The course will also cover respectful engagement with Indigenous Peoples, including appropriate protocols for involving Elders in events, consultation processes, relationship-building, and considerations for honorariums and gratitude gifts.
