A recent blog post @etfoeducators.bsky.social and comments from readers heartandart.ca/where-in-mum...

Families play a vital role in their child’s education & we’ve got resources for families to help engage in their child’s learning, understand what they are learning at school & how to connect with us if you have questions. Visit our family resources page to learn more www2.yrdsb.ca/family-resou...

A recent blogpost, published today. Professor Himani Bannerji had said to me once when I visited her “Rashmee, people sometimes or often forget that I have a rich life elsewhere as well” and I think that’s something that helps me remember myself in many places heartandart.ca/where-in-mum...

I received a message in 2022 from Dorothy Smith saying she wanted to nominate me for an award @lhaecomms.bsky.social She coordinated reference letters, wrote hers which she later sent to me. I don’t have to be “In The Academy” to be an Institutional Ethnographer. I know that and Dorothy knew that.

There’s plenty of room in #InstitutionalEthnography for EdD folks and those of us making a difference in workplace practices within non-academic settings. Dorothy’s view/vision was that IE has no need/space for dogma. Let’s dismantle the divide between who’s an IE’er and who’s not. Let’s talk!

Welcoming students: A wonderful day ahead @yrdsb.bsky.social

After a few days @federationhss.ca @csa-scs.bsky.social I was delighted to return to students, schools, colleagues and families @yrdsb.bsky.social and also found a book that says more than I can express here “The Life That’s Waiting” #PraxisAcademics have the best of both worlds I think!

The work continues in classrooms, schools before, during & after professional learning & academic engagement: it’s not a 1- sided sharing either: academics learning from everyday work in K-12 spaces is 🗝️ #PraxisAcademics #InstitutionalEthnography #EdPolicy @csa-scs.bsky.social @federationhss.ca

“Students only share what they’re comfortable with sharing, and educators must accept that, and not expect any specific performance from their students.” - Anna Bartosik #congressh

“As teachers, we are uncomfortable with silence. But as learners, we do need silence to collect our thoughts and process. This is something important to consider as we become better empathizers when we teach.” - Anna Bartosik #congressh

“We’re talking about different ways of understanding Canadian history. When we talk about just transition, we’re talking about the transition workers yes but also the transition of communities who have suffered from the toxicity of the environnement.” Melina Laboucan-Massimo #congressh

"How can we have that evolving, and reintegrating of Indigenous knowledges? We're building a bigger base of not having silos of energy, academia, moving past our differences: our diversity allows us to come together and build the just transition we need to see." - Melina Laboucan-Massimo #congressh

"Our communities are often left out of the conversations, and are being bombarded by extractive industries to participate in their energy systems, that we've been historically excluded from. It's not a spreadsheet of how to solve the crises. We need to come back together." - Eriel Deranger

“How do we begin this process of decolonization instead of Indigenization? True liberation comes from decolonization and us being able to decide, to take the reign, to take those positions of power and redistribute them.” - Eriel Deranger #congressh

"We absolutely need to find ways to fund projects and communities to do the work they're already doing. Our systems and structures are viable for funding, but we constantly have the burden of proof for why we need to be resourced." - Eriel Deranger #congressh

[2/3] "Working within Indigenous communities globally, we see the discourse is shifting away from a human centric approach, towards an interconnected approach we so desperately need right now."
