Workshops
Indigeneity recognizes the cultural, religious, perspectival, and holistic contributions of Indigenous people.
The American educational system is addressing the systemic problems of hierarchical thinking, exploitation, and marginalization. It's time to consider what should come next, and how Indigeneity can inform that process.
Join us for a 3-Part Workshop Series that will start this conversation with a question: How can we better serve Indigenous students, faculty, and staff at Maricopa?
The series has been brought to you by Phoenix College CAIIPP: The Committee on American Indian Initiatives, Programs and Projects.
Podcast
Rowdy Duncan, a full-time instructor of Communication at Phoenix College, is hosting the Implementing Indigeneity workshops.
Recently, he sat down to discuss the series at New Media Lab Experience, a multimedia teaching facility, at Mesa Community College. Anchored by Dr. Eddie Webb—an American Indian scholar, and professor of English—the conversation synopsizes the series.
Listen for unique, and personal, perspectives from two Native American educators, as they reflect on Indigeneity's potential to improve education.
