Indigenous Topic Series

My Context:
Within the Health Sciences Library we have been developing an Indigenous Topics Series to identify and address individual and shared knowledge gaps within a safe peer-to-peer learning environment. 

My Development Idea:
Monthly internal Indigenous Topics Series emphasizing inquiry-based self-directed learning.

My Problem that I Have Insights Upon:
The workplace is changing. Curriculum is changing. We are seeing both a bottom-up and a top-down drive for staff development opportunities that explore historical and contemporary Indigenous topics for both professional and personal development. Recognizing demands placed on Indigenous leadership, faculty, and students, we have utilized books, films, and other media, as a means of integrating Indigenous voices and perspectives into our learning experience.
