SUMMARY:Research Talk: Episode 2 Indigenous Framework Plans in Ontario Postsecondary Institutions with Emma Posca
DESCRIPTION:Emma Posca is a PhD candidate at York University and a settler educator specializing in Indigenization and decolonization. Her dissertation examines Indigenous Framework Plans across Ontario postsecondary institutions to analyze how colonial legacies are addressed within the academy. She has an extensive teaching dossier spanning Indigenous Studies\, Sociology\, Engineering\, Human Geography\, and Equity Studies at York University and Yorkville University. As a Course Director\, she designs and delivers decolonial curricula for non-Indigenous learners\, including institutionally adopted courses and faculty-focused seminars. Her teaching emphasizes reconciliation\, critical self-reflection\, and institutional accountability through experiential and inclusive pedagogical practices. \nIn this episode\, Emma discusses the research behind her dissertation examining Indigenous Framework Plans across Ontario postsecondary institutions. Using Critical Discourse Analysis\, her work analyzes how universities publicly frame commitments to Indigenization and reconciliation\, and what these policy documents reveal about institutional priorities\, accountability\, and colonial legacies within higher education. \nListen to the podcast here: Episode 2: Indigenous Framework Plans in Ontario Postsecondary Institutions with Emma Posca 20260501 | Office of Academic Research | Yorkville University

SUMMARY:Research in Action: Action Research in Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Action research is a research methodology that examines a problem of practice. Through iterative cycles of “looking\, thinking\, acting” (Stringer\, 2014)\, researchers can determine what actions might provide solutions. For this introduction to action research\, Dr. Dressler will present two action research projects she has conducted as a means to demonstrate how the methodology is conducted. The first example was an examination of her own practice as an instructor of a graduate course in which students learned about and conducted action research (Brown et al.\, 2015). The second example was a five-year project with a team of teachers (Mueller et al.\, 2023). Both examples are intended to inspire others to also undertake action research. \nRoswita Dressler\, PhD\, Professor\,  \nUniversity of Calgary \nDr. Dressler holds a PhD in Education and an MA in German. Her research focuses on pre-service and in-service teacher understandings of second language teaching and learning\, which involve discipline-specific pedagogy\, intercultural competencies\, and innovation in curriculum and design. Pre-service and in-service teachers also bring to their practice their own identity as first language\, heritage or second language speakers\, which they often explore through study abroad and professional learning. As an educational linguist\, she draws from research methodologies that integrate contextual factors: action research\, nexus analysis (a discourse analytic methodology)\, and linguistic landscape analysis\, in particularly of schoolscapes. \nRegister here
