In Case You Missed It...
Indigenous Topic Integration |
|
|---|
|
Originally presented as part of the 14th Annual Day in Faculty Development, on May 25th, 2021.
Laura Banfield & Stephanie Sanger on behalf of Melissa Caza & Louise Caravaggio
The workplace is changing. Curriculum is changing. We are seeing both a bottom-up and a top-down drive for staff development opportunities that explore historical and contemporary Indigenous topics for both professional and personal development. Recognizing demands placed on Indigenous leadership, faculty, and students, we have utilized books, films, and other media, as a means of integrating Indigenous voices and perspectives into our learning experience.
Learn more about our 14th Annual Day in Faculty Development, here.

MacPFD has transformed the ways in which we support and build the skills of faculty members and senior trainees who teach and mentor our students by transitioning all development offerings to online learning opportunities. In the last year we have provided open access to more than 3,000 faculty members and guests to over 100 digital events including webinars, conferences, podcasts, articles, and video content. We have 7 teams with over 50 faculty member volunteers developing new content and online training opportunities.
Have you joined one of our events this past year? Perhaps youβve listened to our Spark podcast? Viewed one of our videos on YouTube? We need your help to keep creating this incredible content, and keeping it free to the public! Interested in helping?
When you make a gift, you will join the effort to inspire the development of teaching and learning and allow our researchers, scholars, leaders, and clinicians to achieve success as educators. Your gift will support MacPFD to continue to generate new freely available events and maintain an open access digital library.

Q: Based on your experiences, what advice would you give an early career scientist who wishes to work in the same area that you do?
A: You do not need to solve the world's biggest problems at the beginning of your career. Start with the low hanging fruit and slowly build credibility in the field. Network early and often.
Q: What are some of the most important factors that must be in place before establishing a program of research?
A: You need to understand your goals. What are you working towards? What is the big randomized controlled trial you would absolutely love to conduct one day? If you can envision that, you can start to work backwards and carve a path of how you might be able to get there eventually. The path will not be straight and narrow but it will allow you to develop some sort of plan. It is also important to establish strong mentors. People who you look up to in the field and who can advise you and be your cheerleaders.
Q: How can the sustainability of the program be ensured?
A: Innovation is the key to sustainability. What are you doing differently? How are you incorporating new ideas and concepts? Can you bring anything new to your field?
Q: Are there any lessons learned or tips you'd like to share with junior researchers/faculty?
A: Be open to collaborations outside of your discipline. Don't be turned off by rejections or failures. It's okay if your manuscript don't always get accepted to your first choice journals or if your funding applications are not successful. It is critical that you consider the criticism and use it to better future manuscripts and funding applications. The feedback is always helpful - even if at first it seems harsh or unnecessary. |
