If you’re in #Vancouver: my boss is giving a very cool talk to a broad community audience, on Saturday evening. Details below. #bcedu #ubc

Dr. Alice Te Punga Somerville (Te Āti Awa)
Head, Department of English Language and Literatures UBC

THINKING ABOUT VANCOUVER AS THE EAST COAST (OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN)

Dr. Somerville’s research and archival work brings to the fore the multilingual rich legacy of Indigenous writing from New Zealand, Australia, Hawai’i and Fiji beyond the stories told about them in colonial texts. Her publications include Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised (2022), winner of the 2023 Mary and Peter Biggs Award for Poetry in New Zealand, and Two Hundred and Fifty Ways to Start an Essay about Captain Cook (2020). Her first book, Once Were Pacific: Māori Connections to Oceania (2012), won Best First Book from the Native American & Indigenous Studies Association. Before joining UBC, she taught Māori and Indigenous Studies at the University of Waikato, and has held academic positions in Australia, Hawai‘i, and New Zealand.

Like cowards.

Anyone counter-protesting against the anti-trans hate rallies today should be sure to take plenty of pictures of the bigots. Light is the best disinfectant.

Organizers of the #1millionmarch4children protest against Trans rights and gender education have urged participating parents to take their kids out of school for the day.

This would be a good day for students and concerned parents to note carefully who is absent, and re-evaluate interactions with those students and parents.

this is the province where I went to school through BA level, and my child through 12th grade. Unfortunately conventional grading remains in place for 11th grade through university. I can’t wait till it is gone entirely. It is a system that tells students very little about what they can do and know, let alone about what they need to know how to do or how to get there. https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/08/07/BC-Ends-Letter-Grades/ 1/2 #bcedu #education #assessment #pedagogy
