Talking Treaties: A Read-In for Educators and Staff

About this Event

Faculty, contract lecturers, TA/GAs and staff are invited to join the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching for a community read-in to learn about the treaties that cover the territory that Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) sits on. We will interactively and collectively read excerpts from several treaties, then discuss our relationship to them as learners and educators. In advance of the session, we ask that participants read Chapter 27 of Chelsea Vowel’s Indigenous Writes (pages 243 to 251).

Lunch and additional resources will be provided in the session.

This event is part of Treaties Recognition Week

This event is organized by the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching as part of the first annual Treaties Recognition Week at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU).

Treaties Recognition Week honours the importance of treaties and aims to empower students, faculty and staff with a greater awareness and understanding of treaty rights, treaty relationships and their relevance today. In 2016, Ontario passed the first legislation (external link)  of its kind in Canada declaring the first full week of November as Treaties Recognition Week.
