Indigenous Studies 2J03: Indigenous Experiential Education
Indigenous Experiential Learning will take students on a journey through the pedagogy of Indigenous nations of Turtle Island. Through a series of interactive learning modules students will participate in hands-on learning practices common in Indigenous communities. This course will also mix academic expectations with the experiential learning to help students assess the places, spaces and times when experiential learning can be beneficial outside of the classroom. This course is meant to explore with students the way Indigenous communities transmit knowledge from one generation to the next, exemplifying the ways in which this may differ from Western society's versions of knowledge transmission. This course will take students through experiential exploration of concepts. Students will spend some of their time reflecting on the experiences had within class and in their readings. Students will use critical thinking skills to place themselves in the world, relating to the content of readings and enact analytical thinking to create meaning based on their experiences in the course. Students will apply their experiences and communicate these in a variety of ways including discussion posts, reflections and presentations.
