Abstract

During the last month of an academic leave from the University of Ottawa, I take a detour and attend a summer institute at the Sachamama Center for BioCultural Regeneration (SCBR) located in the Peruvian High Amazon and under the direction of Frédérique Apffel-Marglin. It was organized by scholars Peter Cole and Pat O’Riley from the University of British Columbia. At Sachamama, I was drawn into ecopedagogical responsibility, working against the grain of the progress narrative . Returning home, I work with my students to intensify the provocations at the margins of Academia. Storytelling and mapping help us to open generative possibilities for eco-literacies and geo-literacies as we work with the tricksters, Coyote and Raven, to decolonize and indigenize teacher education.
