CTLT Indigenous Initiatives Virtual Coffee Hours

When I teach and facilitate, I model how important it is to approach Indigenous topics with humility and responsibility in mind. Once a month, I cohost my team’s Virtual Coffees, where we invite the UBC community in for consultations and discussion on thoughtfully engaging with Indigenous content and representation. In this space, I share resources, activities, and act as a sounding board for new ideas to integrate into coursework.

Do you have questions about how to thoughtfully integrate Indigenous content and representation into your course work? Curious about how to offer meaningful land acknowledgements in online meetings or events at UBC? Indigenous Initiatives’ Virtual Coffee Drop-ins are great place to explore these topics, connect with others on the same learning path, or just get to know our team.

Indigenous Initiatives at CTLT develops and offers programming, resources, and consultations focused on Indigenous engagement in curriculum, pedagogy, classroom climate, and professional development. To facilitate respectful and meaningful dialogue in learning spaces on campus and within the communities we work, we provide support and professional development for faculty, teaching assistants, and graduate students who are teaching in face-to-face, blended, or online classes. The Virtual Coffee Drop-ins are open to anyone who would like support in these areas and would like to stay connected.

This space has been open for all members of the UBC community, including people who come regularly as well as new participants in each coffee space.
