Teachers always use power in their classrooms. As a new
teacher, you will need to make some thoughtful decisions.
Perhaps you will consider:

What is the best way to use my power as a teacher?

Do I share my power with my students?

How will my students be affected by the power exercised in
the classroom?

How does vulnerability intersect with power?
Members of the
Education
Faculty will host
two workshops
that will use
discussion
based teaching
strategies to
explore these
and similar questions. Current students in the B.Ed. Program and
any undergraduate students who are interested in teaching are
invited to join these sessions. Those enrolled in the elementary

8. Rescue, Control, and Ongoing Violence in
Anti-Violence Campaigns L116
This talk will discuss my work as a community based researcher and
scholar in areas of anti-violence. Relying on the works of Indigenous
feminist and anti-colonial thinkers, I will discuss the disproportionate
and ongoing violence facing Indigenous women and especially
Indigenous women involved in sex industries. In particular, I will
highlight how systems of justice and anti-violence responses
frequently reproduce structural inequalities and the contexts in which
violence emerges. Based on this, the breakout session will engage
the question many people are asking: “How can
we reconcile in a context of ongoing violence?
How can we reconcile with an abuser?”
Julie Kaye is a sociologist who specializes in the
area of social justice, development, human
trafficking, post- and settler-colonial thought,
criminology, law, gender, and policy. Her current
book project critically examines the politics of
human trafficking in the context of setler colonialism in Canada. Her
doctoral studies examined responses to human trafficking
development, migration, immigration policy, migrant worker
programs, sex work, and policy. Julie engages in community-based
research with sex workers, community organizations, harm reduction strategies, and decolonial organizing and research alongside
Indigenous-led responses to violence against Indigenous women.
She is the Research Advisor for the Aboriginal Commission on
Human Rights & Justice.
9. The Refugee Crisis: What are Canadians Called to
Do? N219
In this interactive breakout session students will become familiar
with the current refugee crisis, its historical and political roots and
explore the various responses that are being made globally. Students will also come to understand the process of refugee resettlement and what Canada is, can and should be
doing.

Historian and Sociologist. She holds a
Master’s Degree in International Relations with

Break Out Sessions Information
The Power of a Second Chance N109
Jonathan and one of his friends who's experienced incarceration will
discuss power, community support, and the importance of second
chances by reflecting together on the journey of reintegration.
Jonathan Nicolai-deKoning accompanies men
leaving Canada's prison system as a chaplain with
The Neighbour Centre's Open Door program in
Edmonton. The Open Door provides holistic support
and accountability to men and women transitioning
from prison to our communities. Jonathan lives with
his wife and two young children in Edmonton's
Alberta Avenue neighbourhood.
2. Honduras Water Project – Thursday Only N101
Justine Vandergrift’s clear, rich
voice and finely-tuned songcraft bespeak an affinity with
the likes of Patty Griffin, Bonnie
Raitt, and Sarah Harmer, but
her own brand of country soul
has deeper roots than that,
ones that dig into the hymns
and folk songs of her youth.
Her two studio releases reveal
a rare and irresistible knack for
melody, and her forthcoming
EP Sailor (November 2015)
represents a deepening of that
artistry. Justine is like the old
hymns she grew up
with – even if you
can’t quite put your
finger on what makes
them
genuine and
authentic, they are
undeniably so.

FOUND WANTING
a Multimedia Installation Regarding Grief and Gratitude
The 2015 Honduras Water Project Team travelled to the community
of Quebrada Honda this past May, where they spent many hours laboring, building relationships, playing with kids, and living the richness of a new culture. They were challenged to analyze their communities,
discovering both strengths that promote growth and stumbling blocks
that prevent the community from flourishing. If you are interested in
learning more about the HWP at King’s or being on next year’s team,
you are encouraged to attend this session.

7. Lady Flower Gardens N209
Lady Flower Gardens is a community-building, social development
project in Northeast Edmonton. It creates a space for the most
vulnerable members of Edmonton society to garden together. In this
session we will discuss how the garden undermines conventional
structures of power, particularly in relation to land ownership, by
inviting people of all walks of life to
come and garden on privately
owned land. We will explore personal stories from the gardeners at
Lady Flower to demonstrate how
powerful and sustainable this social development method can be.

3. Educating Omar N102
5. Project 107 N108
In September of 2008, the King’s community heard the story of Omar
Khadr at its fall IS conference. Since that time, faculty and students
have walked out the mission of King’s by walking beside Omar. This
is the story of an unusual friendship between King’s community and a
former Guantanamo detainee
Whose stories are not heard and how do we empower those who are
voiceless to have a voice? Does it matter who is telling the story?
Heroes of 107th is a multidisciplinary arts project that aims to bring out
the stories of residents living in one of Edmonton's most multicultural
neighbourhoods - the Avenue of Nations. This workshop shares the
inspiration behind the project and how it is using relationship-building
and dialogue to give power back to those who may otherwise be
marginalized through the sharing and telling of personal narratives
and imagery.

in 2010 in response to a request to provide educational support to Canadian Guantánamo detainee, Omar Khadr.

Michelle Nieviadomy will weave together The Blanket Exercise with her
