Erasure Poetry as Pedagogical Praxis: Exploring De/colonization with International Students in Canada -- Explore: Innovation in Teaching (2024)

This project invites international students to reflect on their roles in decolonization and in ongoing efforts towards reconciliation and rebuilding relationships with Indigenous peoples in Canada. Drawing on works by Indigenous authors, students craft erasure poems that encourage deeper awareness of respect, attentive listening, and relational engagement. Through this creative practice, participants examine what it means to make, modify, and share responsibly while living and learning on Indigenous territories.

Part of the mini group Critical Posthumanism and Decoloniality in Higher Education under Collaborative SoTL Literature Review groups.

This project investigates how critical posthumanism and decolonial perspectives can reshape academic development and student learning within Higher Education. Adopting a creative, diffractive approach inspired by Rosi Braidotti’s cartographic method, it maps evolving scholarship beyond traditional review frameworks.
