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.

On March 8, CTLT’s Indigenous Initiatives department welcomed the UBC community to a virtual screening and panel discussion of the Faculty Perspectives film created by the What I Learned in Class Today: Educational Experiences and Institutional Responses Renewed Project.

Green Lifestyle workshops are for people to adopt and promote simple living practices in their everyday life. Our workshops are focused for rural communities because many of these communities have not been included in environmental movements in the past. Our idea of simple living is consistently making eco-conscious decisions in your home and with your purchases, in order to minimize the impact of your daily habits.
