In her book, Unsettling the Settler Within: Indian Residential Schools, Truth Telling, and Reconciliation in Canada (UBC Press, 2010), Paulette Regan called on non-Indigenous people to engage in their own decolonizing process as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission got underway. Residential school survivors’ stories are powerful teachings that stir unsettling emotions in non-Indigenous listeners, disrupting widely-accepted settler colonial accounts of Canada’s past and present relationship with Indigenous peoples. Canadians’ willingness to reflect critically on this experiential learning and then take action on reconciliation in ways that are decolonizing not recolonizing is crucial to authentic reconciliation.
Dr. Regan will reflect on how practicing this unsettling pedagogy in post-TRC reconciliation education and learning initiatives enables non-Indigenous people to take responsibility for their own decolonizing and to work in respectful solidarity with Indigenous peoples to restory Canadian history, confront racism and injustice, foster transformative social change and generate critical hope for the future. Noting the challenges of teaching the ‘unsettling’ historyand ongoing legacy of the residential school system and Canada’s settler colonial past, she offers some decolonizing principles and practical strategies for using this pedagogical approach in intercultural contexts.
Conférence organisée en collaboration avec LABRRI – Laboratoire de recherche en relations interculturelles (http://labrri.net/)
