dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the place of stories in high school English Language Arts classrooms, in Alberta, in 2012. Amidst discourses of individual program planning, personalization and standardized assessment, I reflect on encountering traumatic texts with students. In the discussion, I queer(y) an amended Alberta Human Rights Act that provides parents with the right to "opt" their children out of classroom discussions of "sexuality, sexual orientation and religion". Through an interweaving of hermeneutic, narrative and arts-based approaches I imagine a story of school that includes all students, opens up conversations and works towards the possibility of a collective life on this planet. In other words, I imagine a story of public schooling that might be "other"wise. My work as a teacher, and this reflection, is ongoing.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
