During this reading circle we will discuss Adam Gaudry and Danielle Lorenz’s article: “Indigenization as Inclusion, Reconciliation, and Decolonization: Navigating the Different Visions for Indigenizing the Canadian Academy.” (2018) Summary: “Following the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s (TRC’s) Calls to Action, Canadian universities and colleges have felt pressured to indigenize their institutions. What “indigenization” has looked like, however, has varied significantly. Based on the input from an anonymous online survey of 25 Indigenous academics and their allies, we assert that indigenization is a three-part spectrum. On one end is Indigenous inclusion, in the middle reconciliation indigenization, and on the other end decolonial indigenization. We conclude that despite using reconciliatory language, post-secondary institutions in Canada focus predominantly on Indigenous inclusion. We offer two suggestions of policy and praxis—treaty-based decolonial indigenization and resurgence-based decolonial indigenization—to demonstrate a way toward more just Canadian academy.”

The Concordia classroom is a very diverse environment. This diversity is expressed in terms of the students’ ages, cultural background, language, disability condition, socio-economic status, and other non-traditional profiles. The heterogeneity of this inclusive classroom and our new reality brings with it the challenge to design courses that meet the objectives of the course or program while effectively responding to the needs of all learners. In order to meet these challenges, innovative approaches like Universal Design for Learning (UDL) are being implemented. Designing our courses using these strategies and techniques makes them more accessible to everyone, thus reducing the need for individual accommodations.

Indigenization of the academy refers to the meaningful inclusion of Indigenous peoples’ knowledge(s) in the everyday fabric of the institution from policies to practices across all levels, not just in curriculum. How and to what extent does your curriculum content and pedagogy reflect Indigenous peoples’ voices and perspectives across the academy in respectful ways? What does a successful Indigenized decolonized post-secondary institution look? During this reading circle we will discuss Dr. Michelle Pidgeon’s 2016 article, More Than a Checklist: Meaningful Indigenous Inclusion in Higher Education and discuss what Indigenization means as it relates to institutional initiatives (e.g., policy, programs, and practices).
