Celebrate International Women's Day with us as we sit down with the insightful Natasha Henry-Dixon, assistant professor of African Canadian history at York University and a Vanier Scholar. Natasha captivates us with her journey, starting with the stories of Emancipation Day and leading up to her 25-year teaching career. Her stories aren't just anecdotes; they're transformative experiences that have fueled her mission to weave African Canadian history into our educational fabric, enlightening students from kindergarten through university.
Our conversation takes a dynamic turn towards the essence of community engagement in historical research. Natasha emphasizes the rich rewards of partnering with local organizations, diving into how these collaborations breathe life into the forgotten narratives of the Underground Railroad and the War of 1812. As a seasoned educator, she shares the unique challenges and triumphs that come with teaching across different demographics, and her approach to making history resonate with her students —an approach that intertwines the past with their present identity.
Finally, we talk about encounters with 'racism with a smile' and the influence it has had on her teaching philosophy. Her dedication to unearthing the harrowing yet resilient stories of Black individuals like an enslaved woman named Beth imparts a sense of justice to their memories. By documenting these narratives, Natasha Henry Dixon not only honors the legacy of Black Canadians but also fosters a deeper understanding of our shared history for generations to come. Join us as we honor these vital contributions, ensuring that these stories of strength and survival are never forgotten.
