The Centre for Teaching Excellence is very pleased to welcome Christina Lennox, Educational Developer – Indigenous Pedagogies, to the team, filling in for Ally Quinney’s parental leave.
Christina (they/them/she/her) is a Red River Métis and mixed settler (French, English, Irish, German) scholar, artist, educator and cultural facilitator. They are a member of the Métis Nation of British Columbia, and live, study and play on the lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Nations.
They are also a Master’s student with the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice at the University of British Columbia and currently hold a Bachelor (Hons.) of Arts in psychology from Capilano University. In their studies they advocate for expansive, creative and transtemporal methods of research and doing based in Indigenous knowledge systems of art, story and Land.
Through all this, Christina is a beadwork artist. They draw from traditional techniques and technology to create story-based beadwork to wear or display. They look to beads to tell imperfect ceremonies of dreaming, thinking, understanding and learning of the world around them.
Christina can be contacted in the CTE via email at: cte@capilanou.ca.
