Master of Education (MEd) – Online Cohort
Hello, my name is Christine, my ethnicity is Fijian Indian, and I identify as a Canadian woman, cisgender and able bodied. I am a settler on these Indigenous lands where I was born, raised, live, work and play. I currently live on the ancestral and unceded homelands of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples. I identify as a member of a marginalized community, and I continue to increase awareness around my privileges and positionality.
My favourite place in this city is by the water, and I’m thankful for all the beautiful places it has to offer. I love going for walks, sitting on a patio, spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food. I love to travel, and I cannot wait to finish my masters to really embark on some memorable adventures.
In September 2022, I began my journey with the Master of Education online cohort. Without the online option, studying for my Master’s degree and working full time would not have been possible. It is an asynchronous program, but you quickly develop an online community with your classmates. During each semester, you will have the opportunity to get to know each other better. There will be weekly posts and group projects. A few of us who live in the same area have also met in person.
My passion is to ensure as educators we are decolonizing agendas in early childhood education and applying cultural responsiveness. Many of our courses integrate this, and the weekly posts allow for deep discussions that embrace diverse viewpoints. During my academic career, I have had the privilege of learning from some of the best teachers.
