Summer Institute on Literacy in Indigenous Content open to UM faculty and staff – UM Today News

March 14, 2025

Registration is now open for the Summer Institute on Literacy in Indigenous Content–an enriching professional development opportunity for UM faculty and staff. The program will run Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., starting May 13 and ending July 29, 2025.

This opportunity is designed to support UM faculty and staff in deepening their understanding of the cultural and historical contexts of Indigenous peoples in Manitoba and across Canada.

“Coming from a diverse cultural background, I learned a lot about Indigenous cultures, histories, and learning styles. The course helped me understand perspectives I had not explored before and provided valuable takeaways.

The program was welcoming and inclusive, and the resource persons were passionate and supportive. I now feel more confident in understanding and respecting Indigenous knowledge, which will help me connect better with people from all backgrounds.” – Deepika Kalluri (she/her), Co-operative Education Coordinator, I.H.
