    Stop Talking: Indigenous Ways of Teaching and Learning and Difficult Dialogues in Higher Education

    Building on our recent webinar on moving beyond land acknowledgments, in this episode we speak to Ilarion Merculieff and Libby Roderick, co-editors of Stop Talking: Indigenous Ways of Teaching and Learning and Difficult Dialogues in Higher Education. The conversation covers what it means, from the authors’ perspectives, to truly indigenize higher education. What it means to do that work while recognizing the historical and contemporary power dynamics between institutions of higher education and native communities. And how we can use intentional dialogue to move towards transformational change.
