What is the significance of imagination in our work as educators? In a world shaped more and more by algorithmic logic, what does it mean to dream? What role might the imagination play in how we collectively address our shared future? This interactive talk will open up a dynamic conversation about liberatory education design. How can we cultivate the growth of the imagination for ourselves and for our students? We will explore everyday practices and design strategies that can lead us to become self-actualized shapers of a more just and sustainable world.

We will offer reflective frameworks to provide participants with the atmosphere to begin the work of re-imagining the classroom for disabled students. To do this, we will challenge assumptions and norms of a ‘typical’ classroom and, by way of example, identify practical ways to design your classroom with disability accessibility in mind.

This is a UBCO STREAM (Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Event. STREAM is a multi-pronged initiative, aiming to enhance the appreciation of impactful equity-based and historically, persistently, and systemically marginalized (HPSM)-produced scholarly work at UBCO and beyond. STREAM’s overarching philosophy is to demonstrate to students, staff, and faculty that there is much to learn from marginalised voices in scholarly research.
