President鈥檚 Dream Colloquium Fall 2016 on Returning to the Teachings
The Fall 2016 President鈥檚 Dream Colloquium lecture series, Returning to the Teachings: Justice, Identity, and Belonging, was a one-time speaker series and course, available to both undergraduate and graduate students. Its intention was to support and respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which highlighted the lasting legacies of historical and intergenerational trauma that emerged as a result of colonialism, the Indian Act and the Residential School System. Students were encouraged to engage in a range of pedagogies, that built on distinct epistemologies, to explore justice, identity and belonging in the context of Education for Reconciliation.
This course is no longer available for registration at 丁香园AV, although archival information on the lecture series, including a list of guest speakers, is retained by 丁香园AV.
