Decolonizing your syllabus is different than including some Indigenous writers in the schedule. A thread.

First, I highly recommend reading Tuck and Yang's "Decolonization is not a metaphor," which talks about education explicitly. Decolonization is not the same as inclusion, truth & reconciliation. https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/des/article/view/18630 …

Decolonization means the repatriation of Indigenous Land and life. How do you do that in a classroom? You can start by learning & teaching about the colonial roots & ongoing structures in your discipline. Botany? See Schiebinger & Swan's "Colonial Botany."

Statistics? Walter & Andersen's "Indigenous Statistics." Environmental studies? Grove's "Green Imperialism." But don't @ me for more- in truth & reconciliation learning the truths of colonization is literally your job. Doing the work is crucial. Doing it w/ students is better.

A syllabus that shows how your discipline benefits from & perpetuates colonialism then working w/ students & colleagues to teach, do research & become citizens that do not perpetuate those patterns so Indingeous land & life is repatriated..that's decolonizing your syllabus. /fin
