  • such an important class, the book we read was 'the colonial problem' by lisa monchalin. i took this course online, most of the course involves reading a chapter of the book each week and doing a weekly discussion post. the workload is pretty light overall, although you have a few essays to write throughout the term (1500 words each) and the deadlines were a bit on the short side (~1 week to write the essay). rowland robinson is an amazing prof. this course is a great starting point for learning about the history of indigenous peoples and issues and it gives you the tools needed to start understanding + talking about colonialism in canada.

  • Great course for understanding Canada's history with Indigenous peoples. It went in-depth about a lot of different aspects and I learnt a lot. Rowland Robinson is a great instructor, don't feel afraid to ask him for help or extensions.
