Classroom discussions of indigenous struggles 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. Through
discussion, activities and video, this project aims to foster a more
culturally sensitive and understanding learning environment that addresses
notions of privilege. Everyone is welcome.

Part of a series of four workshops, including Social Position,
Tokenization, Addressing Classroom Incidents Inside the Classroom, and
Improving the Classroom Situation: Thinking Through Potential
Strategies. Visit http://www.whatilearnedinclasstoday.com for more info.
