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
