Researchers: Mel Sysing and Dustin Kasun, Dr. Verna St. Denis. Analysis by Dr. Sheelah McLean
February 2018
This project seeks to understand how the pedagogical practices of Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools teachers in Saskatoon, Canada draw on ideas of anti-racist, anti-oppressive education to strengthen their understanding of critical pedagogy of place and commitment to the current papal encyclical Laudato si’ of the Holy Father Francis On Care for our Common Home.
Moreover, this project seeks to connect, strengthen, and educate both student and staff concerning Indigenous land-based pedagogies, worldviews, and spirituality. In addition, also disrupt settler/colonial education and move forward together in world leading pedagogies.
