When Marc Zhichang Xu visited Windsor for the first time in early 2024, he found his time at the University to be “impressive and inspirational.”

“I was particularly inspired by the Indigenous Spirit on the Turtle Island Walk on the campus,” he says, referencing the Seven Grandfather Teachings represented along the route.

Having since published on the topic of Indigenizing knowledge, Dr. Xu will return to the University of Windsor in early November for two talks in the Faculty of Education.

When George Zhou visited a high school in Japan as part of a six-week trip to Nagoya University, he was struck by the collaborative approach of the teachers.  

“When the school principal led me to a large open room, I was astonished by what I saw,” said Dr. Zhou.

Rather than sitting and working independently, Zhou saw teachers sharing resources and moving around the room to talk to their colleagues.
