Book Launch: Re-Storying Education
At 2:00 pm, join alumna Carolyn Roberts, BEd’14, MEd’18, for a reading of her recently published book, Re-Storying Education.
Re-Storying Education is a process of dismantling old narratives taught in education and rebuilding new narratives that include all the voices that have created this place known as Canada today. This vital and timely book outlines how colonialism has shaped both the country and the public school system. Re-Storying Education uses an Indigenous lens, offering ways to put Indigenous education, history, and pedagogy into practice. It invites readers into an open dialogue in the pursuit of a more inclusive and just educational landscape.
