Event Description

Note: This session is intended for Graduate Students, and Undergraduate and Graduate TAs only. 

Facilitating discussions may be challenging for TAs, especially when those discussions involve Indigenous issues. In the context of the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action and the 2020 Indigenous Strategic Plan, UBC members have the responsibility to navigate Indigenous issues with care. In this workshop, TAs will reflect on some challenges that may arise in-person and online discussions about Indigenous issues and some strategies to address these challenges with care and responsibility.

Facilitators: 

  • Hannah Coderre, Educational Consultant, Indigenous Initiatives
  • Claudia Diaz, Educational Consultant, Indigenous Initiatives
