NSCAD University is proud to welcome Dr. Joshua Schwab-Cartas as our newest Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Global Indigenous Cultural Practice. 🎉

An assistant professor in NSCAD's Master of Art Education program, Dr. Schwab-Cartas has spent more than 20 years working alongside Indigenous youth and Elders across numerous Indigenous communities. His research, teachings, and creative practice are grounded in relationship-building, community engagement, and Indigenous ways of knowing. 📚

“My goal has been to foster connections among Indigenous nations by creating opportunities for us to learn from one another within our own cultural contexts and environments," he says. "This is not about promoting a pan-Indigenous framework, but about encouraging mutual understanding while respecting the distinctiveness of each nation.”

Congratulations to Dr. Schwab-Cartas on this exciting achievement! 👏

What happens when you ask elementary students to imagine their dream school? 🏫🐠

At St. Catherine's Elementary, this simple question sparked a collaboration between NSCAD University artists and nearly 100 primary students. Together, they transformed the school's library into a vibrant underwater-themed mural inspired by the children's ideas, stories, and creativity. 🎨🍎

“We treat the kids in the school as knowledge keepers, which doesn’t happen enough in primary school,” said Jordan Bennett, Associate Professor in the Division of Media Arts, who led the project. “The students really took it upon themselves to not only design the art, but create this narrative for their space.”
