TEACHING
Learning is relational.
A teaching practice grounded in relationality, transformative social work education, Two-Eyed Seeing, critical reflection, experiential learning, and decolonizing approaches.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
The classroom can be a space for critical inquiry, accountability, connection, and transformation.
Shane’s pedagogy draws together Indigenous knowledges, strengths-based and trauma-informed approaches, critical reflection, sharing and dialogue, multimedia learning, and attention to the responsibilities learners carry into practice.
Indigenous Knowledges
Indigenous approaches to social work, Indigenous relations, resurgence, and community.
Decolonization & Anti-Oppression
Research & Practice
Power, colonialism, resistance, critical reflexivity, and accountable professional practice.
Practice research, qualitative inquiry, relational methods, and research ethics.
Curriculum is more than content. It is a relationship between knowledge, learners, communities, and responsibility.
PEDAGOGICAL LEADERSHIP
Shane’s academic leadership includes curriculum development, program coordination, Indigenous pedagogical leadership, national accreditation work, and research on resilience-centred and relational approaches to teaching.
