Indigenous Academic Curriculum and Research

The Ted Rogers School of Management has adopted a holistic approach aimed at making the space, curriculum and community more inclusive for Indigenous students. Indigenous resurgence initiatives at the Ted Rogers School are co-defined with the Indigenous community and grounded in principles of reciprocity, relational accountability and co-learning. We see these principles as foundational to establishing true trans-cultural collaborations and in fostering a more respectful, cohesive and harmonious socio-economic environment.

Often this work tends to focus only on barriers and enablers, but in doing so we neglect the more complex supply-side issues that make these spaces seem foreign to many Indigenous students. We understand that removing the barriers to post-secondary education is only part of it. It is only in learning to listen to and respect each other’s stories and ways of knowing that we can create a space for everyone to co-exist while maintaining the integrity of our identities and voices.
