You are welcome to attend a TOOLS FOR CHANGE WORKSHOP:
What I Learned in Class Today:
Aboriginal Issues in the Classroom

Workshop 2:Tokenization

Friday
March 27th 3pm
Leeds 118.
Carleton University

    Classroom discussions of Aboriginal issues often leave
students feeling alienated and angry. Though troubling, these
situations often go unreported and unresolved, affecting
students' abilities to function in classes and in their
coursework.
    These workshops are intended to help both aboriginal and non
aboriginal people understand the impacts and consequences of social
position and dominant understandings of indigenous peoples that can
contribute to
problematic incidents that occur in the classroom context and elsewhere is
society. Through discussion, activities and video, this project aims to
foster a more culturally sensitive  and safe learning environment.
Everyone is welcome to attend and participate.

This initiative is supported by the Carleton Human Rights department,
Carleton Equity Services and  OPIRG-Carleton.
