Storying White/Settler Identity Towards Anti-racism With Dr. Michael Cappello

July 28, 2021

The stories that we tell about ourselves are important to sustaining a sense of who we are in this place. In this session, we will explore how changing the stories that we tell about ourselves, especially our white/settler selves, can work to both implicate us in the colonial narrative, and, potentially invite us into anti-racist actions / a less oppressive future.

About Dr. Michael Cappello:
Mike is an associate professor in the Faculty of Education, at the University of Regina, focusing on anti-racist/anti-oppressive pedagogies. As a white settler, his work over the last 10 years has increasingly centered on teaching/learning against colonialism and teaching/learning into reconciliation between Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.
