Certificate of Decolonization and Indigenization Studies

The Certificate of Decolonization and Indigenization Studies offers students the possibility of exploring Canada’s settler-colonial relationship to the wide diversity of Indigenous peoples who have been on these lands for millennia, while also learning about the many ways that Indigenous peoples have continued to strengthen their cultures amidst the challenges of settler-colonialism. The Decolonization and Indigenization Studies certificate will also provide the opportunity to participate in co-curricular activities organized at Dawson College and beyond each year, and to build relationships with local Indigenous communities and with the urban Indigenous community.

An information session for faculty who are interested in listing or have listed their courses is planned for this Wednesday and a launch celebration will take place Feb. 10 from 2:30 to 5 p.m. in Conrod’s. There will be food, speakers, activities and information at this drop in event.
