Engaging Indigenous Intergenerational Wholistic & LandBased Approaches to Teaching and Learning EDST 565E (941) | 2022 Summer Term 2 (July 4 - July 8 & July 11 - July 14) Credits: 3 Course Description: This course will provide opportunities for co-learners to bridge theory and practice. It is intentionally designed to take place outside of the university classroom as much as possible so that our collaborative learning community can participate in experiential, embodied, wholistic learning activities with Coast Salish and Urban Vancouver Indigenous leaders. Classes will be a combination of guided learning circles that will be led by co-learners in the class with community visits to Coast Salish Nations and Urban Aboriginal organizations. This class will require travel on public transit or driving . You will need to come to class prepared for the weather conditions for the day and may also need to bring a suitable chair. Since there will be land based activities in this course, we will be walking and active for many of our class activities. If you have accessibility needs, please email me in advance so that I can do my best to accommodate your needs. We will also share food and determine the best way to share our gifts (skills & strengths) to enact reciprocity with Indigenous knowledge holders during our community visits. (Course Poster) Anti-Racism Praxis Lab: Theory, Practice and Activism EDST 598A 951 | 2022 Summer Term 2B (Jul 25 to Aug 11, 2022) Credits: 3 Course Description: This course offers an opportunity to engage, produce and reflect on anti-racism praxis. It invites critical engagement of integrative anti-racism and related theory and ways of understanding and progressively changing groups, institutions and society. It involves knowledge as embodied (including our bodies, identity politics and standpoints) as well as our education to work on thinking and acting differently and towards equity and social justice interpersonally, in institutions, community, and society. We will share and (re)examine our concrete anti-racist work (completed, in process or contemplated)- our pedagogy, analysis of policies, artwork, community work and activism. Integrative anti-racism and related texts and discourses- decolonialism, feminism, queer theory, etc. will help inform, produce, extend or rethink concrete projects in intersectionalist ways. Addressing racism is central but things are often more complicated and about what bell hooks has named “imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy.” In this lab we bring theory, practice and activism together to initiate, develop, experiment with, share and reflect on these/our/each others/other others projects, in an atmosphere of radical hospitality.

Phenomenology in Practice EPSE 604A | 2022 Winter Term 1 (Sep 06 to Dec 19, 2022) Credits: 3 Course Description: This advanced graduate level seminar will explore how phenomenological and hermeneutical theories can deepen or inform our research and educational practice. To do this, we will explore thinkers like Hans-Georg Gadamer (art of questioning and understanding), Maurice Merleau-Ponty (embodiment) and James Mensch (political action). Following those examples, we will practice phenomenology and hermeneutics ourselves through interviews, writing, observations, group discussions, creating curricula and writing. This class is designed as a discussion, reading and writing intensive course. Yet by following Merleau-Ponty’s point: “We know not through our intellect but through our experience.” (Merleau-Ponty, 1945, II) you will have the opportunity to use those approaches for engaging on a more practical level. Feel free to bring your own research project, thesis in progress, educational context or question of your choice and we will create an assignment that attends to your interest.

(Course Poster) Urban Analytics (Graduate Research Methods) PLAN 548R | 2022 Summer (Jul 12 to Aug 29, 2022) Credits: 3 Course Description: As more and more aspects of daily life become digitally mediated, planners can study urban processes in new ways. Urban analytics is an umbrella term for using new data forms in combination with computational approaches to better understand cities. While increasing data availability allows us to ask new questions –or shed new light on enduring ones– planners need to understand and weigh the risks and opportunities of this data revolution to harness it responsibly. This course is delivered in two parts. The first part teaches the fundamentals of python coding for urban data science. The second part focuses on application. Students will work on mini-research projects to apply their knowledge. Additionally, students will develop literacy in urban analytics publications and the field’s quickly evolving emerging debates. To be registered, please contact the course instructor, Julia Harten (julia.harten@ubc.ca), outlining your relevant research project, as you will be undertaking this throughout the course.

Phenomenology in Practice EPSE 604A | 2022 Winter Term 1 (Sep 06 to Dec 19, 2022) Credits: 3 Course Description: This advanced graduate level seminar will explore how phenomenological and hermeneutical theories can deepen or inform our research and educational practice. To do this, we will explore thinkers like Hans-Georg Gadamer (art of questioning and understanding), Maurice Merleau-Ponty (embodiment) and James Mensch (political action). Following those examples, we will practice phenomenology and hermeneutics ourselves through interviews, writing, observations, group discussions, creating curricula and writing. This class is designed as a discussion, reading and writing intensive course. Yet by following Merleau-Ponty’s point: “We know not through our intellect but through our experience.” (Merleau-Ponty, 1945, II) you will have the opportunity to use those approaches for engaging on a more practical level. Feel free to bring your own research project, thesis in progress, educational context or question of your choice and we will create an assignment that attends to your interest. The topics can span from eating disorders to children’s rights to Black Lives Matter Urban Analytics (Graduate Research Methods) PLAN 548R | 2022 Summer (Jul 12 to Aug 29, 2022) Credits: 3 Course Description: As more and more aspects of daily life become digitally mediated, planners can study urban processes in new ways. Urban analytics is an umbrella term for using new data forms in combination with computational approaches to better understand cities. While increasing data availability allows us to ask new questions –or shed new light on enduring ones– planners need to understand and weigh the risks and opportunities of this data revolution to harness it responsibly. This course is delivered in two parts. The first part teaches the fundamentals of python coding for urban data science. The second part focuses on application. Students will work on mini-research projects to apply their knowledge. Additionally, students will develop literacy in urban analytics publications and the field’s quickly evolving emerging debates. To be registered, please contact the course instructor, Julia Harten (julia.harten@ubc.ca), outlining your relevant research project, as you will be undertaking this throughout the course. Anti-Racism Praxis Lab: Theory, Practice and Activism EDST 598A 951 | 2022 Summer Term 2B (Jul 25 to Aug 11, 2022) Credits: 3 Course Description: This course offers an opportunity to engage, produce and reflect on anti-racism praxis. It invites critical engagement of integrative anti-racism and related theory and ways of understanding and progressively changing groups, institutions and society. It involves knowledge as embodied (including our bodies, identity politics and standpoints) as well as our education to work on thinking and acting differently and towards equity and social justice interpersonally, in institutions, community, and society. We will share and (re)examine our concrete anti-racist work (completed, in process or contemplated)- our pedagogy, analysis of policies, artwork, community work and activism. Integrative anti-racism and related texts and discourses- decolonialism, feminism, queer theory, etc. will help inform, produce, extend or rethink concrete projects in intersectionalist ways. Addressing racism is central but things are often more complicated and about what bell hooks has named “imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy.” In this lab we bring theory, practice and activism together to initiate, develop, experiment with, share and reflect on these/our/each others/other others projects, in an atmosphere of radical hospitality.
