CDAG: Back to the Future
3d – Decolonizing Higher Education Pedagogy: From Theory to Practice
Sharmaine Itwaru, George Brown College
While the notion of an anti-racist curriculum is not new, many higher education instructors have not made the transition from a decolonized curriculum to an equally decolonized pedagogy. From a conceptual standpoint, the transition is understood but the actualization of this cyclical process is at times, not as smoothly executed. Deconstructing delivery is a daunting prospect for faculty, especially for those most invested in the content of their practice. As a result, this session will draw upon both evidenced-based practices on and the practical application of decolonizing tertiary-level instruction. Utilizing a Transformative Learning lens, this presentation will detail the experiences of a college curriculum renewal project and the subsequent considerations and changes in practice that ensued in the adoption and delivery of an anti-racist curriculum. Participants in this session will have the opportunity to discuss, reflect, and leave with a foundation towards reconstructing their own pedagogy.
