About Dr. Hare
Jan Hare is an Anishanaabe educator and scholar from the M’Chigeeng First Nation, located on Manitoulin Island in northern Ontario. She has recently assumed the role of Associate Dean of Indigenous Education in the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia.
Her research and teaching is committed to improving educational outcomes for Aboriginal learners and aimed at centering Indigenous knowledge systems within educational reform from early childhood education to post-secondary. Enriching teacher education with Indigenous worldviews, Jan has initiated a set of faculty mentoring activities and is engaging in research that examines the ways instructor identity mediates how Indigenous ways of knowing are taught and learned in teacher education.
Dr. Hare has led the development of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education, which emphasizes changing personal and professional ideologies and institutional structures to create equitable and inclusive learning environments for Indigenous learners, and where all participants learn from Indigenous ways of knowing.
