We Can Do This: Decolonizing Our Pedagogy and Prioritizing Humanity
We Can Do This: Decolonizing Our Pedagogy and Prioritizing Humanity is geared at helping educators to understand and acknowledge that “race” is a social construct, to inform them of how dangerous ideologies connected to race create different outcomes for different groups of people through systemic racism, and to demonstrate how educators can be effective agents of positive change. The presentation highlights the Black Canadian experience to determine that filling in important gaps in our historical national narrative can explain present realities and inform the way that we approach the future as we endeavor to create positive outcomes for all students through equitable and inclusive education. We can do this!

If we want to understand what Canada is and what it could be, we have to understand what it has been. Knowing the Black Canadian experience really allows us to fill in a lot of the gaps in our often-romanticized national narrative.
