Dr. Darren Warburton was recently successful in receiving an Equity Enhancement Fund grant for $5,750 for the project “Transforming our Understanding, Enhancing our Practices: Engaging Indigenous Ways of Knowing Across the Curriculum.”
Project Summary: This project seeks to create and implement a series of professional learning related events and activities that help transform the teaching and learning of Indigenous knowledges, perspectives, and pedagogies within the Faculty of Education. Specifically, we will introduce faculty, staff, instructors, and teaching assistants to Indigenous understandings of health and wellbeing providing comprehensive insight into the complex social, cultural, historical, and economic factors that shape health, wellbeing, and healthy living within Indigenous communities with the goal of transforming curriculum and teaching approaches. Our project builds upon the natural synergies of departments within the Faculty of Education intersecting with the diverse course offerings and differently positioned faculty.
