I am pleased to announce the appointment of Danielle Jeancart as the Indigenous Curriculum & Pedagogy Specialist. Danielle will join the Humber community in her new position on November 28, 2022.  

Danielle Jeancart is an Indigenous educator of mixed French-Métis, nêhiyaw (Plains Cree), and Ukrainian ancestry from northern Saskatchewan, Treaty 6 Territory. She holds a BA in English Literature from the University of Regina and an MA in Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies from Trent University. Her graduate work focused on Indigenous history and conceptions of Indigenous masculinity in Canada.

Passionate about Indigenous education and research, Danielle has worked as a sessional lecturer of history, curriculum developer, and program coordinator in post-secondary education for more than a decade. Since January 2019, she has worked as an instructor and community facilitator for the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres, providing advocacy, training, and capacity building supports for urban Indigenous communities across Ontario.

Please join me in congratulating Danielle in her new role.
