During the Fall 2025 semester, the OTL Book Club will discuss Teaching Where You Are: Weaving Indigenous and Slow Principles and Pedagogies (Leddy & Miller, 2023). The book club is open to all University of Guelph, University of Guelph-Humber, and Ridgetown faculty, staff, instructors, teaching assistants, and graduate students. 

We will approach this book club through a decolonial lens of experiential and wholistic learning. At each meeting, book club members will take part in a facilitated discussion of chapters in the book and share their thoughts, questions, and experiences. We will augment these discussions with opportunities to engage in Indigenous pedagogies, offering space for decolonial, Indigenized, and reconciliatory conversation, as well as practice and guidance on how educators can apply these approaches in their own contexts.

Book Club members will meet during Fall 2025 on six Thursdays from 10:30am - 12:00pm, in-person or virtually on Microsoft Teams.

Registration is limited to allow for effective discussions. Registrants will receive a calendar invitation for all sessions, which will include a Teams link if you wish to join virtually. Register for the book club by September 12, 2025. Space is limited.
