Lori Huston is a doctoral student in the Graduate Program in Curriculum Studies, Faculty of Education, the University of British Columbia. Lori is of mixed descent, Métis, Scottish and British. Her cumulative research experiences and graduate studies have focused on Indigenous ECE leadership, highlighting Indigenous pedagogies connected to reconciliation, place, and land-based teachings.

Her MEd portfolio examined the connections of Indigenous pedagogies to reconciliation and place and land-based teachings. Continuing in this critical area of pedagogies in Indigenous early childhood education, Lori plans to focus on how knowledge and Indigenous epistemologies particular to a specific place/land inspire a “heart pedagogy” for Indigenous early childhood education.

The Janusz Korczak Association of Canada would like to extend their congratulations to Lori Huston for her achievement.
