About The Position

This course examines urbanism as a central colonial structure in the formation of Canadian territory. Drawing on Indigenous sovereignty and critical planning theories, we will analyze how urbanism orders territory, legitimizes colonial possession, and participates in Indigenous dispossession. By juxtaposing discourses of reconciliation with concrete land-use planning practices, the course poses a fundamental question: "For whom are we planning?"

Requirements

Advanced education in Canadian Indigenous studies and/or a related field (law/legal studies, history, political studies, etc.).
Previous teaching experience in the discipline.
Lived experience in Indigenous communities (or work experience within Indigenous organizations).
Qualified Indigenous persons (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) with a genuine connection to their Indigenous community will be given preference.
Specific experience and/or practical knowledge of pedagogical tools for distance learning are encouraged.
Completion of all mandatory legislated training as required by provincial law.
