Episode description
In this episode, host Beth Cougler Blom talks with Leanne Joe and Amea Wilbur about how they designed a course on Indigenous pedagogies for adult educators at the University of the Fraser Valley. Their conversation offers insights that can inspire all of us, wherever we work, to thoughtfully incorporate Indigenous voices and ways of knowing into our learning environments, enriching the experience for both ourselves and our learners.
Beth, Leanne, and Amea also talk about:
- Starting with story and relationship to land
- Bringing language, gifts, and storytelling into course design
- Navigating colonial structures while honouring Indigenous worldviews
- Using reflection and personal narrative in learning
- Engaging Elders and Knowledge Keepers in learning experiences
- Creating spaces for learners to share forward what they've learned by teaching others
