Welcome to the live-stream session in the UBC Learning Circle of Territory Acknowledgements in Teaching and Learning at UBC. This special session is a partnership with UBC Centre for Teaching and Learning Indigenous Initiatives, as part of their Classroom Climate Series.
Event Description
What goes into a territory/land acknowledgement and what are the things we can each think about to engage responsibly in this practice? Join us for a panel discussion featuring Musqueam Elder Larry Grant and senior First Nations and Indigenous Studies faculty Drs. Linc Kesler and Daniel Justice, for perspectives on the pedagogical significance of these acknowledgments, their broader cultural meaning, their role in ongoing relationship-building practice, and how to meaningfully incorporate territory/land acknowledgments into your courses as one part of a larger practice of engaging Indigenous content and perspectives.
