What I Learned in Class Today: Aboriginal Issues in the Classroom is a research project designed to make these situations visible and to find ways to have more professional and productive classroom discussions. Developed in the First Nations Studies Program at the University of British Columbia, this project asks students, instructors, and administrators at UBC, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, to share in videotaped interviews their most memorable classroom experiences where the discussion of Aboriginal issues became difficult, and to share their reflections on the dynamics underpinning these situations. Their interviews form the basis for resource materials that have been produced to improve the classroom discussion of politically and culturally sensitive issues. We welcome the use of these materials for programming and for the development of similar initiatives at other institutions; we only ask that this project and its materials be cited appropriately where used.
