On June 1, 2019 I coordinated and hosted a conference at the University of British Columbia on inclusion, school leadership, and Indigeneity. The goal of the conference was to bring educational leaders and Indigenous Knowledge Keepers from across Canada together to talk, listen, and learn about the inclusion of students with special education needs. More than 80 educators were at the conference and many more engaged with us globally through live broadcasts and social media.
This is a different blog post because I won't describe anything further but would encourage you to listen to the recordings from the conference. You will find them by clicking here. More information on the research I am engaged with in Canada and beyond can be found on my research website (click here).
"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
