She incorporates Indigenous storytelling, knowledge systems, and pedagogical models into contemporary theatre performance and transforms narratives of oppression into creative work.&nbsp;</p> <p>“Indigenous students have long comprised the most underserved and underrepresented body of students in North America,” says Carter. “I devise program initiatives that specifically address their experience.”</p> <p>Carter has worked on the Jackman Humanities Institute’s Re-Membering Ourselves in Deep Time project, as well as with First Story Toronto as researcher and tour guide. She values community engagement, activism, and collaborative learning outside the university.&nbsp;</p> <p>Carter says she is both humbled and heartened by the award and&nbsp;it will “reinvigorate my desire to infuse younger generations with respect, dedication and passion for the craft of making theatre.”</p> <h3><a href="https://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/news/four-faculty-celebrated-their-excellence-teaching#jillcarter">Read the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science story</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Thu, 18 Jun 2020 15:23:15 +0000 lanthierj 164970 at
