Indigenous Education Speaker Series: Practical Strategies for Land-Based Learning with Mkomose (Andrew Judge, Ph.D.)
Teach For Canada–Gakinaamaage’s Indigenous Education Speaker Series brings experts, educators, and Knowledge Keepers together to share wise practices for incorporating Indigenous content in the classroom.
Join us for our third session of 2022-2023: Practical Strategies for Land-Based Learning with Mkomose (Andrew Judge, Ph.D.). This session is the third of a three-part series led by Mkomose.
Mkomose’s final presentation will build off of his introduction of the Indigenous knowledge framework, and focus on practical strategies for land-based learning. Participants will learn how to introduce practical on-the-land activities, which can be built over time with new groups of students.
Mkomose (Andrew Judge, Ph.D.) is an Assistant Professor of Anishinaabe Studies at Algoma University. He has lectured at Sir Wilfrid Laurier University, The University of Waterloo, and Coordinated Indigenous studies at Conestoga College, where he established a network of Indigenous leaders to restore land. Mkomose specializes in Anishinaabe cultural knowledge, ethno-medicine, and land-based learning.
Mkomose has learned from, worked and consulted with, and served Indigenous Elders and community leaders for nearly fifteen years. He has founded several community-led Indigenous knowledge-based programs at elementary, secondary, and post-secondary levels and works tirelessly to promote Indigenous land-based sustainability practices.
