The UOTeach teacher licensure and Sapsik’wałá programs have collaborated with a host of campus and national scholars to offer a weeklong UOTeachIN on educational equity.
Each Monday-Friday evening offers two sessions which approach anti-oppressive pedagogy from their respective equity lenses; including Love Authenticity Courage Empathy LACE, All Students Belong, indigenous resilience practices, 1619 teaching hard history, anticolonial teaching, trauma-informed, technology agency, This is My America, Latinx community, and bilingual/bicultural education.
UOTeachIN culminates Saturday, Feb 27 at 1:00pm with our keynote speaker, Dr. Bettina Love, author of We Want to Do more Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom, and co-founder of the Abolitionist Teaching Network. Dr. Love will discuss the struggles and the possibilities of committing ourselves to an abolitionist goal of educational freedom, as opposed to reform, and moving beyond what she calls the educational survival complex.

Indigenous Peoples Day
The origins of Indigenous Peoples Day date back to 1989 when the South Dakota legislature passed legislation changing the second Monday in October from Columbus Day to Native American Day, celebrating the day for the first time in 1990. Two years later, in 1992, Berkeley, California, replaced Columbus Day by celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day. University of Oregon holds a flag raising ceremony in the EMU Amphitheater each October.
