Despite efforts to question embedded power structures within learning spaces, the psychological safety required for successful disruption of colonial practices is often overlooked. This workshop aims to explore the cyclical and reciprocal relationship between critical pedagogy and psychological safety and explore methods that cultivate forward belonging equity, and epistemic justice.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will critically examine current pedagogical practices vis a vis equitable and inclusive education and will demonstrate the skills to integrate the four domains of psychological safety to cultivate a safe, inclusive, and equitable learning environment
  2. Upon completion, participants will devise a plan to utilize concepts and strategies of transformative and expansive learning in psychologically safe teaching-learning paces.
  3. Upon completion, participants will be able to articulate Critical Pedagogy concepts, including the Indigenous Knowledge model, and how to apply them in the learning environment to promote epistemic justice and liberation from colonial practices in academic settings
