The Interdisciplinary Centre for Research in Curriculum as a Social Practice is a strong community-university network that supports collaborative scholarship on unique and complex curricular issues to inform public policy and pedagogy in the 21st century.
Events for academic year 2022-2023
ICRC invites members of Western’s community to participate in Curriculum Studies & Ecological Justice 101, a series of experimental and speculative events designed to make us think with and act towards ecological justice in the context of curriculum studies. Our provocation will be the special issue of Curriculum Inquiry Journal, 52(2), Education and Ecological Precarity: Pedagogical, Curricular, and Conceptual Provocations (2022).

Acknowledging Territory
The ICRC acknowledges that Western University is located on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek (Ah-nish-in-a-bek), Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-no-show-nee), Lūnaapéewak (Len-ahpay- wuk) and Chonnonton (Chun-ongk-ton) Nations, on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. This land continues to be home to diverse Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) whom we recognize as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors of our society.
The Attawandaran (Neutral) peoples once settled this region alongside the Algonquin and Haudenosaunee peoples, and used this land as their traditional beaver hunting grounds. The three other longstanding Indigenous groups of this geographic region are:
- The Anishinaabe Peoples (also referred to as the Three Fires Confederacy including; Ojibwe, Odawa, and Pottawatami Nations);
- The Haudenosaunee Peoples (also known as the Iroquoian people or Six Nations including Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Onondaga, Seneca, and Tuscorora);
- The Leni-Lunaape Peoples (also referred to as the Delaware and/or Munsee).
The three First Nations communities closest in proximity to Western University are:
- Chippewa of the Thames First Nation (part of the Anishinaabe)
- Oneida Nation of the Thames (part of the Haudenosaunee)
- Munsee-Delaware Nation (part of the Leni-Lunaape)
