This innovative program provides a radically different perspective on the study of policy through a decolonial lens, backed by research, and led by leading practitioners and scholars. The Radical Policy School is grounded in theoretical learning and practical application for Indigenous leaders involved in local, community- and land-based initiatives.

The program is rigorous, intentional, sustained, and devoted to transformation and revitalization


2024 Focus

The focus for the 2024 session is on building radical relationalities between Indigenous, Black, and racialized communities toward decolonial futures. Radical relationalities is a useful framework for cultivating and nurturing individual and collective relations with the view of shared decolonization and liberation. 

This is an interactive and collaborative program with lessons that can be applied to the learner’s professional and personal activities and pursuits. The Radical Policy School is grounded in theoretical learning and practical application. This is a cohort-driven curriculum, meaning students will have the opportunity to discuss and decide on curriculum topics.
