In the third episode of the ​“History in the Hot Seat: The Teaching and Knowing of Canada’s Past” Podcast, host Hannah Belec speaks with Dr. Lindsay Gibson, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Gibson discusses his research on commemoration controversies in Canada, exploring how historical figures and events are remembered in classrooms and the challenges educators face when teaching commemoration controversies that broach sensitive topics like colonialism and racism. The conversation delves into the role of teacher education programs in addressing these issues, how commemoration aligns with Canada's current history curricula, and the broader debates surrounding statues and public memorials. Listeners will gain insight into the complexities of teaching history in an era of evolving public attitudes and the significance of pedagogical methods, historical thinking, and technology in navigating these controversies.
