'Truth before Reconciliation': The Difficulties of Transforming Higher Education in Settler Colonial Contexts
Stein, Sharon
Higher Education Research and Development, v39 n1 p156-170 2020
In response to the contemporary context of reconciliation in Canada, colleges and universities have made efforts to 'Indigenise' their campuses, extending earlier, Indigenous-led efforts to create more space for Indigenous peoples and knowledges. While many welcome these efforts, others express concern that they fail to go beyond conditional inclusion to fundamentally shift relationships between settlers and Indigenous peoples. In this article, I examine these developments and suggest that most institutions and individuals have yet to face the full extent of their complicity in colonisation. I argue that perhaps it is only by doing so, and thus, arriving at the impossibility of reconciliation, that a transformation of settler-Indigenous relationships might be possible.
