Session Description

What is equity and how do we put it into action? What types of knowledge(s) do we value in engineering and how does colonization impact our values? What other ways of knowing can we incorporate into our classrooms? In this workshop we explore these questions using an equity in action framework and reflect on how we can broaden ways of knowing in our teaching and learning. We will begin with defining equity and decolonization for those unfamiliar or unsure of these concepts, followed by exploring an Indigenous framework of knowledge. As a community we will brainstorm ways we could begin to incorpo ... (continued)
