Position Papers

What does it mean to live on stolen or occupied land? How might you approach your teaching and learning in light of where you are living or where you come from? Introduced by Dr. Sophie McCall, these "Position Papers" are reflections of educators on their own positionality, especially as it is shaped by the stories and histories of the land they stand upon. These papers can guide you in learning about the territories under your feet––one of the most important first steps in better understanding your responsibilities in teaching and learning from Indigenous literatures.

For more on the subjects addressed in these papers, check out the roundtable discussion below, where Read, Listen, Tell editors Deanna Reder and Sophie McCall discuss teaching Indigenous Literatures with a group of teachers and graduate students.
