鈥淗ow do we find the strength and the trust to tell 鈥� stories that are truthful about who we are, stories that connect us to the world, one another, and even ourselves?鈥� (Heath Justice 2018) And, how can sharing these stories impact our students and the learning environments that we co-create?
This 1hr virtual session will begin by describing 鈥淪torywork pedagogy鈥� (Archibald 2008) as a reciprocal and interrelated approach to teaching and learning that鈥檚 rooted in traditions of Indigenous orality. Storytelling is powerful 鈥� a viewpoint that juxtaposes colonial perspectives surrounding stories. Through positioning storytelling as an important decolonial act that educators of all backgrounds can engage in, this session invites participants to reflect on how they can use storytelling to enhance student learning and create braver spaces.
