Aoksisowaato’op: Place and Story as Organic Curriculum

Abstract

As a research collective, we have spent the last several years conceptualizing a praxis of métissage that could be applied to curriculum studies in Canada. The usefulness of texts of métissage to the field of curriculum studies is in the ways that they can demonstrate connectivity while also simultaneously re-cognizing difference. By drawing on multiple sources and contexts, creating texts of métissage can provoke a collective wondering regarding the connectedness of history, memory, and story.
