Dear colleagues,
The team behind the Decolonizing Together Symposium at UBC is pleased to invite
contributions to their forthcoming Multimedia Ally Toolkit. Hosted on the Decolonizing
Teaching Indigenizing Learning
website<https://indigenizinglearning.educ.ubc.ca/decolonizing-together-symposium/>,
this open toolkit will feature text-based, podcast, and video content to bring to light
the perspectives and experiences of racialized and marginalized people previously absent
in teacher education programming. Through this medium, they aim to address how Indigenous
erasure, racism, ableism, and multiple other forms of oppression are taken up in the
Faculties of Education at UBC and how to address existing gaps through changes to practice
and policy.
Building on the thought-provoking presentations during the two Decolonizing Together
Symposiums in October 2021 and January 2022, they continue to aim at cultivating a diverse
community to create and sustain equitable and inclusive campuses and teacher education
experiences. Topics addressed in this toolkit may include anti-racism, anti-oppression,
anti-ableism, sexuality and gender discrimination, inclusive learning practice, and
settler of colour experiences. Their goal is to provide in-service and pre-service
teachers with practical and applicable approaches to addressing this content in their
teaching, or for facing challenges related to these issues as they arise in day-to-day
practice.
Interested contributors are asked to send a brief proposal (maximum 300 words) to the team
by March 1, 2023.
Final papers and other content are due July 1, 2023.
Parameters for final works:
* Papers: 3500–5000 words (not including references)
* Audio: 10–15 minutes of podcast feed or other audio recording
* Video: 10 minutes in length
Submission timeline:
* Proposals due: March 1, 2023
* Acceptance notification: April 1, 2023
* Final works submitted: July 1, 2023
* Publication: September 1, 2023
The original call for proposals document is attached. Please direct any questions to Dr.
Surita Jhangiani (surita.jhangiani(a)ubc.ca).
