Imagining SoTL: Selections from the Banff Symposium (IS) stems from the annual Symposium for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), hosted by Mount Royal University’s Mokakiiks Centre for SoTL.
The Centre is located in Treaty 7 territory, the hereditary homelands of the Niitsitapi (the Blackfoot Confederacy), Îyârhe Nakoda, and Tsuut’ina Nations. When asked to translate the previous name of the Institute for SoTL, Blackfoot elder Leo Fox gave the word ksimstaani, which means ‘imagining.’ The publication is named after this inspiring way of thinking about SoTL as possibility and potential for transformation.
Presenters from the yearly Symposium are invited to submit full papers based upon their presentations. These may be research articles, reflective essays, calls for collaboration, reports on SoTL in practice, or other scholarly works that investigate teaching and learning in higher education. IS aims for high quality and values methodological richness and variety from a diversity of perspectives.
