Change with the Earth in Mind
We designed and implemented a clay art-making workshop with teacher candidates called Change with the Earth in Mind, focused on listening to the Earth. Drawing on Bentz’s (Bentz, J. (2020). Learning about climate change in, with and through art. Climatic Change , 162 (3), 1595-1612). Framework, we sought to engage teacher candidates in, with, and through art that evokes climate change themes. Leveraging this art education experience as a research…
Decolonizing History Curricula Across Canada
This study explores how K–12 history curricula across Canada currently address—and may better address in future—decolonizing imperatives. Following a consideration of the limitations and strengths of curricula in this regard, the article identifies five recommendations for (re)designing history and social studies curricula with decolonizing goals in mind: (1) challenge hegemonic narratives, (2) value Indigenous ways of knowing and being, (3) refl…
The Affective Dimensions of Historical Empathy
Emotions and feelings play an important role within history education.

Drawing from interviews with secondary sc…

Historical empathy involves a process of attempting to understand the thoughts, feelings, experiences, decisions, and actions of people from the past within specific historical contexts. Although historical empathy has been a rich area of study in history education for several decades, this research has largely taken place outside of Canada. In this article, I argue that greater attention should be paid to historical empathy in Canadian history e…
A ‘wicked problem’
In seeking to attune history education to a relational, ecological, and ethical future orientation, we turned to scholarship in other fields that teach similar or proximate outcomes: Indigenous studies, environmental history, and climate change education. We suggest that the challenge in history is not just teaching about climate variation over time and its consequences, but also recognizing that the Anthropocene is a multidimensional phenomenon …
