Please join us for a land acknowledgement and welcome ceremony. We are honoured to have Elder Vivian Timmins help us to begin our event in a good way. Vivian is O’Mushkego Cree and she calls Fort Albany, Ontario, her homeland. She is Eagle Clan and a band member of Constance Lake First Nation. Vivian is an international speaker, an oral Indigenous historian who focuses on the Indian residential school era. She continues to discuss these hard topics to create an understanding of aspects of past, present, and future.

Student Affairs and Services

The agency and well-being of young people to take action to address social issues ranging from decolonizing in sexual and reproductive health rights to climate adaptation is in itself a critical social issue for many governments around the world. This is particularly so in relation to Sustainable Development Goals. Paradoxically, the agency and well-being of new teachers, many of whom are young people, remains an under-studied area both in youth studies and in teacher education However, as highlighted a few years ago in a special World Teacher Day focus on teachers under 30, supporting a cadre of new motivated and activist young people coming into the profession is vital. Drawing on local and global contemporary and ‘in history’ examples of participatory and activist work with and by young people becoming teachers, this talk explores ideas of the ‘now and for the future’, and what this could mean for faculties of education amongst other global actors. Claudia Mitchell is a Distinguished James McGill Professor in the Faculty of Education, McGill University and an Honorary Professor at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. At McGill she is the Director of the Institute for Human Development and Well-being and the founder and director of the Participatory Cultures Lab. Her research focuses on participatory visual and arts based approaches to working with young people and communities in relation to addressing critical social issues such as gender equality and gender-based violence and in a wide range of country contexts. She has received numerous awards for her research with young people and teachers including the SSHRC Gold Medal, the Leon Guerin Prix du Quebec, and the Jose Vasconcelos World Award of Education. She is a fellow of Royal Society of Canada.
