Presented by: Community of Practice on Sustainability Teaching
How does Indigenous learning parallel the western notion of Slow pedagogy, and how can these influence how sustainability is taught in higher education? UBC Scholars Shannon Leddy (Métis) and Lorrie Miller, authors of “Teaching Where You Are” (University of Toronto Press, 2024), illustrate the ways in which interdisciplinary thinking, a focus on experiential learning, and the thoughtful application of the 4Rs – Respect, Relevance, Reciprocity, and Responsibility – can bring us back to the principle of teaching people, not subjects. In considering the importance of engaging in decolonizing and Indigenizing approaches to education through Slow and Indigenous pedagogies using the lens of place-based and land-based education, they share how they are grappling with the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the soul-work of how to decolonize and rehumanize education in meaningful ways.
