SUMMARY:Reconciliation in Practice: A Learning Community for Faculty and Staff - Apr 24\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Reconciliation in Practice: A Learning Community for Faculty and Staff is a monthly professional learning series that offers a reflective and supportive space for faculty and staff who wish to engage more meaningfully with reconciliation in their teaching\, research\, service\, and daily practices. \nEach month\, participants are introduced to a concrete\, accessible strategy drawn from reconciliation-focused resources and scholarship. These strategies guide reflection and action\, encouraging participants to explore their roles\, responsibilities\, and relationships within the university context. \nSessions are designed to be accessible and action-oriented. Participants will explore themes such as learning Indigenous histories\, building respectful relationships\, challenging colonial habits\, and integrating reconciliation into their professional and personal lives. \nWhile all are welcome\, the series is especially supportive of non-Indigenous faculty and staff who are seeking to build understanding\, reflect with humility\, and take ongoing action in respectful and responsible ways. \nThis is a reflective\, supportive\, and non-judgmental space where members commit to learning with humility and taking responsibility for their part in reconciliation. \nLearning Outcomes\nBy participating in this community\, members will: \n\nEngage with reconciliation as an ongoing personal and professional practice grounded in Indigenous- and settler-informed perspectives.\nReflect critically and honestly on their roles and responsibilities within academic and institutional contexts.\nApply selected reconciliation strategies to their own contexts (e.g.\, teaching\, collaboration\, governance\, mentorship).\nBuild capacity for relational accountability\, humility\, and allyship in their work.\nParticipate in a community of practice that encourages sustained\, collective\, and evolving learning.\n\nUpcoming Sessions \nThe Reconciliation in Practice community meets on the last Friday of the month from 12:10 pm to 1 pm. Upcoming 2025–26 dates include: \n\nSeptember 26\, 2025 \nOctober 31\, 2025\nNovember 28\, 2025\nJanuary 30\, 2026\nFebruary 27\, 2026\nMarch 27\, 2026\nApril 24\, 2026
