Transformative pedagogies prompt students and instructors to 鈥渆xamine critically their beliefs, values, and knowledge with the goal of developing a reflective knowledge base, an appreciation for multiple perspectives, and a sense of critical consciousness and agency鈥� (Khedkar and Nair, 2016).

Transformative pedagogies advance the many theories, philosophies, and practices that are often obscured when educational institutions attempt to incorporate them all under the familiar umbrella acronym, 鈥淓DIA.鈥� These theories, practices, and philosophies aligned with Dal鈥檚 strategic direction for teaching and learning form specialized and distinct pedagogical fields such as: decolonization, Indigenization, anti-racism/oppression, internationalization, intercultural competency development, (dis)ability studies, critical pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP).

The CLT Transformative Pedagogies Team is currently comprised of three discrete portfolios: Anti-Oppressive and Transformative Education, Indigenous Knowledges and Ways of Knowing, and Internationalization and Intercultural Competency.
