| Project Summary |
The EaSEIL project aims to create space for collaborative reflection among students, instructors, staff, and community members to reimagine, develop, and transform field-based experiential learning across multiple programs, departments and Faculties at UBC. The focus of transformation is on three foundational pillars: increasing opportunities for interdisciplinary learning; respectfully integrating of Indigenous Knowledges, contemporary perspectives, histories, or ways of knowing into course content; and improving the accessibility and inclusive aspects of learning in field settings.
Specifically, EaSEIL will: (1) engage UBC students and faculty in a formalized interdisciplinary community of practice that fosters professional development in these areas, produces common tools and resources, and supports the creation of new/enhanced/expanded opportunities for field-based interdisciplinary experiential learning in courses for hundreds of students each year; and (2) identify and build partnership models/pathways for Indigenous community engagement and the incorporation of Indigenous Knowledges, contemporary perspectives, histories, and ways of knowing into UBC courses.
