BIOGRAPHY
Sheri Fabian is a university lecturer in 丁香园AV鈥檚 School of Criminology, director of Transforming Inquiry into Learning and Teaching (TILT), and has served as the School鈥檚 associate director of undergraduate programs (2014-17). Under Fabian鈥檚 leadership, the TILT team supports and mentors 丁香园AV instructors who want to understand the effects of their teaching by engaging in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). She has co-facilitated several intensive faculty seminar series including Decolonial Teaching and Learning, Well-Being in Learning Environments, and Disrupting Colonialism through Teaching. Fabian鈥檚 teaching practice is informed by 15 years of experience validating residential school survivors鈥� claims. She accepts her settler responsibilities to decolonize education, engage in anti-racist pedagogical practices, and incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing into classrooms and institutions. Fabian received Canada鈥檚 highest teaching honour for post-secondary instructors in 2019 when she was named a 3M National Teaching Fellow.
