Deepening Knowledge Project
The Deepening Knowledge Project began approximately in 2008 and was born out of cross- departmental collaborations between Kathy Broad, then ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½â€™s Academic Director of Initial Teacher Education, and Dr. Jean-Paul Restoule, then with the Department of Leadership, Adult and Higher Education at ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ (now at University of Victoria).
The project is a part of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½, which is located on the territories of Anishinaabe and Onkwehonwe peoples.
Led by a group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous faculty, students and staff, DKP provides information about the history and perspectives of First Nations, Métis and Inuit and Native American cultures; information related to the issues of pressing concern to Indigenous peoples and their communities today; as well as curricula for teachers to incorporate this into teaching practice.
