  • Tourism Curricula and Indigenous Learning Outcomes Marion Joppe* School of Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada
    rism & ou H OPEN ACCESS Freely available online f T o o s l p a i t n a r l i t u y o J Journal of Tourism & Hospitality ISSN: 2167-0269 Mini Review Tourism Curricula and Indigenous Learning Outcomes Marion Joppe* School of Hospitality, Food and Tourism Management, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT Although hospitality and tourism students in business programs are taught to develop and market product that meets the needs of various demand segments by playing on the “authentic” cultural and heritage elements of destinations, they are rarely exposed to underlying justice and ethics concerns, especially as they pertain to Indigenous populations. In a settler colonial country such as Canada, it is imperative that students are exposed to the underlying justice and ethics concerns of commoditizing cultural and heritage elements of destinations, especially as they pertain to Indigenous populations. This paper takes a closer look at the process of developing and embedding Indigenous Learning Outcomes in a tourism business program and the underlying principles for designing a more inclusive community engagement process. The case is that of the Tourism-Travel and Eco-Adventure program at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Keywords: Tourism curriculum; Indigenous learning outcomes; Indigenization; Canada INTRODUCTION Although tourism would appear to be an obvious study area for embedding an appreciation of traditional knowledge and processes The author would like to start by acknowledging the dedication [7], no university level programs had made a deliberate effort and generosity of the Negahneewin Council members, who to develop Indigenous cultural competency in its students [8].

  • Meeting the Needs of Underrepresented Populations in College Academic Upgrading Programs April 2006
    Meeting the Needs of Underrepresented Populations in College Academic Upgrading Programs April 2006 Prepared by: College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading Funded by: Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities Acknowledgements Innovative Approaches and Promising Directions was a major research initiative which committed to a high level of inclusiveness. It gave managers, faculty, support staff, and students at all colleges the opportunity to provide input on a variety of important topics pertaining to Academic Upgrading. These included the following: “What do colleges do well?”; “Where could colleges improve?”; and most significantly, “What should colleges do next?” Achieving the objectives of such a large research project in a short time period (January to March 2006) required the commitment of many people. The College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading (CSC) wishes to thank the 610 managers, program delivery staff, and students who participated in the 84 focus groups. They welcomed the researchers, organized the focus groups and most of all provided meaningful insights and strong recommendations about the present and future of college Academic Upgrading. The CSC would particularly like to recognize the 456 students whose input was moving and inspirational. They confirmed the CSC’s belief that Academic Upgrading does make a difference and reminded us that it is really “all about them”! Special thanks are extended to the three researchers who devoted their time and expertise to make this project a success: Stewart Kallio, Bob McIver and Lynne Wallace. They worked as a team from a distance to achieve a shared goal. The term “24/7” really does apply to the commitment that was necessary to get the work done.
