Making Aboriginal education accessible

Wednesday September 12, 2018

By Phil Gaudreau, Senior Communications Officer

A Métis student has created an online resource to help teachers learn about Aboriginal education.

Grade school teachers in Canada may wish to educate their students about Indigenous Peoples in Canada, but might be unsure where to start. Recognizing this gap, Queen’s student Olivia Rondeau recently launched a new website to support Canadian educators looking to delve deeper into Indigenous matters.

Teaching Aboriginal Education, or TAE for short, is a free online resource, which offers lesson plans, community resources, and a blog to support educators and foster reconciliation.

“Teaching Aboriginal education is so important to the reconciliation and healing process of so many students and their family members,” says Ms. Rondeau. “As teacher candidates, we learn so much about the importance of teaching First Nations, Métis, and Inuit curriculum, but I found that many people were unsure of the resources and community supports available to assist them. So, I created an Aboriginal education website to make it more accessible to teachers.”

Ms. Rondeau hopes that teachers use the materials on the site as a resource to create culturally relevant curriculum in their classrooms so that Aboriginal students can feel represented, valued, and safe in classroom and school communities. While the site was originally created as part of a class project, she intends to continue updating the site throughout the year.

“As someone who is Métis and a teacher candidate, this project was special because I recognize the importance of teaching Aboriginal perspectives, experiences, and initiatives both as a student and as a future teacher,” she says.

The project also gets top marks from the Faculty of Education. Lindsay Morcom, a professor in the Faculty of Education, says Ms. Rondeau has done an “outstanding job”.

“I am constantly impressed by Liv’s commitment to creating positive change and presenting learning opportunities to others,” she says. “In this resource, and in all she does, Liv shows us that the path toward reconciliation will be guided by brilliant young Indigenous leaders.”

Ms. Rondeau’s site can be found at teachingaboriginaleducation.weebly.com.

Living off the land

Friday September 14, 2018

By Phil Gaudreau, Senior Communications Officer

For 18 students, the great outdoors was their classroom as part of a field study course.

Hunting, fishing, harvesting wild rice, and building your own shelter – DEVS 480 is a course unlike any other. These activities aren’t just worth marks, they are also what you need to do to keep your belly full and maintain a roof over your head.

The course, which has the full name “Re-Indigenizing People and Environments”, is taught by professors Robert Lovelace and Richard Day from the Department of Global Development Studies, and is supported by many community volunteers.

This field study begins with seven weeks of online study, readings, and discussion before taking students out on the land. Participants then travel to Eel Lake north of Kingston for the field portion of the course.

For the following eight days, students live off of the land in an Indigenous lifestyle, they participate in Indigenous cultural practices like sweat lodges, and complete an in-depth study of Indigenous theory.

“To secure good air, water, food, and relationships, human beings need a close relationship with the earth. Recognizing that we are dependent on the material earth but also upon the symbiotic processes – the interrelated actions – of earth is a beginning,” says Mr. Lovelace.

In addition to foraging for food and building a shelter, the students also hunted with a bow and arrow, learned about medicinal plants, and participated in workshops on tool making, managing soil, and growing food, harvesting, and preserving food.

Jessica Franko (Artsci’19) enrolled in the course seeking something “tangible” and “unique” in her university experience. The course was full of those moments, but what stood out the most for her was harvesting wild rice.

“It really changes how you think of the labour that goes into your food, and changes your connection to the food,” she says. “We all cooked for each other and quite literally fed each other – we had a day we were not allowed to feed ourselves – and this sparked discussions around food security and our relationship to food.”

Ms. Franko is quick to point out, however, the challenges are not just physical – they are also mental and emotional.

“There was a lot of theorizing in this class and I sometimes found it difficult to engage in the heavy hitting phrases like decolonization or re-indigenization,” she explains. “These are not easy terms to work through without the proper context, readings, and guidance. We had a lot of difficult conversations trying to figure out where, as settlers, we fit into the discourse.”

Max Lindley Peart (Sc’19, Artsci’19) similarly found the mix of theoretical and practical knowledge useful and challenging. After hearing about the course from upper year students, he had been hoping to enroll – and it didn’t disappoint.

“This course didn’t only privilege learning from a very intellectual perspective – it also gave lessons which were very emotional,” he says. “This came to a point for me when, on our last night on the land, we held a campfire and brought out music, stories, and jokes as a community. It really reinforced for me how we became a community – when we got back to Kingston, none of us wanted to say goodbye.”

“Throughout the whole field study, my heart felt full because I was doing this with a community of friends I could be open and honest with,” he adds. “There is no better learning environment, and it’s the kind of environment I will strive to create wherever I go after this.”

DEVS 480 is only offered every second year. The course is open to all students but mainly attracts students from the Faculty of Arts and Science, and a mix of Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners. To learn more about Global Development Studies course offerings, visit the Department’s website.

Gaels QB runs into the record books

Monday September 10, 2018

By Communications Staff

The Queen’s Gaels football team picked up its first home victory of the year with a 43-7 win over the Toronto Varsity Blues.

The Gaels put on a show for the 1,755 fans that were on hand to celebrate Kids Day at Richardson Stadium.

The Gaels took the opening kickoff of the game to the house as first-year Nathan Langley ran for a 110-yard return touchdown.

After a quiet first quarter, the Gaels exploded in the second putting three touchdowns on the board.

Quarterback Nate Hobbs scored a pair of rushing touchdowns and then found Matteo Del Brocco for a 27-yard strike through the air. The catch was Del Brocco's second receiving touchdown and Hobbs' fourth passing touchdown of the season.

The Gaels went into the half with a commanding 28-0 lead.

Hobbs' lone mistake of the afternoon came in the third quarter. As he lobbed a deep pass down field, Toronto's Caleb Zigby came up with the interception and returned it 62 yards for the touchdown.

With the Gaels up 38-7, Jake Puskas put the final nail in the coffin with a 9-yard touchdown scamper. It was Puskas' strongest performance of the season as he picked up 85 yards on six carries.

With his pair of rushing touchdowns, Hobbs became Queen's all-time leader in career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with 11, surpassing Cal Connor (10) in the school's record books.

He also has the top spot in Queen's all-time rushing yards by a quarterback with 751 yards.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

The Queen’s Gaels women’s soccer team (3-1-0) displayed their offensive potential in a 7-2 win over the Trent Excalibur on Sunday.

The Gaels offence found a rhythm that carried them to the five-goal victory.

The first half was dominated by Alexandra Doane who netted three goals within the opening 45 minutes.

After the Gaels allowed an goal in the 53rd minute, they responded with four unanswered goals of their own.

Jenny Wolever found the net for her fourth goal of the season. She was joined by Chloe Cabral and Chloe Korol-Filbey each recorded their first goals of the early campaign and Christie Gray who scored her second of the season.

On Friday night, the Gaels suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of the UOIT Ridgebacks (2-3-0) 2-0 in Oshawa.

MEN’S SOCCER

The offence was clicking as the Queen’s Gaels men’s soccer team (3-0-0) came away with a 6-2 win over the Trent Excalibur in Peterborough on Sunday.

Things did not start off well for the Gaels as the Excalibur struck for a pair of quick goals in the 16th and 26th minutes. However, just a few minutes later the Gaels began their comeback.

Brevin MacKay found the net for his second goal of the season. In the 41st minute Michael Chang tied the game 2-2. After earning a freekick, Chang curled his shot around the wall and into the net for the game-tying goal.

The Gaels dominated the second half. They put up four unanswered goals including the first OUA goals for Zachary Toupin and Charlie Purcell.

MacKay and Chang also found the back of the net in the second half for their second goals of the game.

MEN’S RUGBY

The Queen’s Gaels men's rugby team (2-0) continued their impressive start to the season with a 55-22 victory over the Laurier Golden Hawks on home turf.

There was a slow start to the game, as both teams couldn't capitalize for the opening 20 minutes. However, the Gaels were the first team to open the scoring with a 3-0 lead after a place kick and Laurier struck back for the first try of the afternoon and a 7-3 lead.

After a late try for the Gaels, the teams headed into a halftime after a low-scoring half with Queen's ahead 10-7.

The start of the second half was a back and forth affair. Both teams traded scores before the Golden Hawks built momentum to take a 19-17 edge.

But a highlight play from reigning OUA Peak Performer of the Week, Dylan Young, gave the Gaels the lead and they would never look back.

The Gaels were untouchable within the final 30 minutes of play and scored 33 unanswered points.

WOMEN’S RUGBY

A strong second-half surge had the No. 7 Guelph Gryphons (1-0) on their heels but it wasn't enough for the No. 4 Queen's Gaels (1-1) as they fell to Guelph 39-34 at Nixon Field on Saturday.

The Gryphons and Gaels traded early tries in the opening seven minutes as April Wright touched down for the Gryphons and Nadia Popov finished off a 15-metre run for the Gaels.

From there, Guelph controlled the pace of the opening half and scored 24 straight points to lead 29-5 at the half.

The second half was the Rachel Hickson show as the second-year wing struck four times including a once on a 50-metre run. The Gryphons were able to keep enough of a lead into the dying minutes up 12. A late try and conversion from Sophie de Goede of Queen's were not enough as the Gryphons held on for the 39-34 win.

Talking consent and sexual violence

Thursday September 6, 2018

By Andrew Carroll, Gazette Editor

Expert Farrah Khan speaks with first-year students as they join the Queen’s community.

At Queen's University the conversation regarding consent and sexual violence continues.

On Sunday, Farrah Khan, one of Canada’s leading consent experts on the topics spoke to the 4,500 first-year students, a day after they arrived at the university.

The presentations, held in the main gym of the Athletics and Recreation Centre, have become an integral part of Orientation Week and are aligned with the university’s Sexual Violence Prevention and Response framework. In the talks, incoming students learn about healthy relationships, consent and sexual violence, both on campus and off, and participate in discussions about these issues, ways they can intervene in situations that could lead to sexual violence, and how they can support peers who disclose their experiences.

With the students taking their first steps in a new stage in their lives, it’s a perfect opportunity to have these discussions, Khan points out.

“I think for me it’s such a huge honour to be able to be part of this conversation and the fact that Queen’s puts so much emphasis on it and ensures that every student has to be here is a really good statement on Queen’s commitment to ending sexual violence,” she says. “(The presentation) sets the tone for how we treat each other as a community. This is a community that cares about each other. This is a community that will step in when you see something going down, and we will support each other when that happens. We will also call in our friends when something they’re doing is not okay, and not doing it could lead to more and more problems.”

This was the second year that Khan has spoken during orientation at Queen’s and she learned a lot from her first experience at the university. She says that a number of students contacted her afterward to let her know that her presentation had an impact and that they appreciated the opportunity to speak openly with someone on what can be difficult topics.

“I think there are opportunities for this (kind of talk). It opens up conversation, and that’s my hope,” she says. “I don’t think it’s about shame, blame, or fear. It’s about cultivating that hope.”

It has been an exciting year for Khan as she was invited by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to be a member of the Gender Equality Advisory Council for the G7 for the meetings hosted in Ottawa. The council includes a number of Nobel laureates such as Malala Yousafzai.

Visit the university’s Sexual Violence Prevention and Response website for more information. Learn more about the bystander intervention training that is available to all students throughout the year.

More information about Farrah Khan is available on her website.

It’s that time of year again.

The leaves will be starting to change, the temperature will soon start to dip, families have squeezed the last few moments out of summer, and a new academic year begins.

This fall, the Queen’s community is welcoming 4,579 new undergraduate students who represent every Canadian province, two territories, 27 U.S. states, and 43 different nationalities.

The university is also welcoming 1,559 graduate students from 42 countries.

“We are excited to mark the start of another busy academic year,” says Ann Tierney, Vice-Provost and Dean of Student Affairs. “We are pleased to welcome students joining the Queen’s community this fall as well as all returning students, faculty, and staff back to campus.”

Fifty-nine per cent of the undergraduate first-year class identifies as female. Just over four per cent have indicated they are the first in their family to attend a post-secondary institution, while 1.5 per cent have said they possess Indigenous heritage. The class’ entry average is 89.3 per cent.

The first-year undergraduate class includes 138 students who are spending their academic year at the Bader International Study Centre (BISC). This group of students, enrolled in Faculty of Arts and Science and Education programs, has the unique experience of learning and living at the 600-year-old Herstmonceux Castle, Queen’s campus in Sussex, England.

This year marks a special one for the BISC, as the centre marks 25 years as an educational destination.

Classes start a bit earlier this year for everyone due to the revamped orientation schedule and the introduction of a fall-term break. The class of 2022 will be taking in their first lectures on Thursday, Sept. 6.
