Our second Capilano Universe event is Feb. 10. Join CapU instructors Tahmina Shayan and Elaine Beltran-Selliti in the conversation about social location and the colonial legacies of the places we inhabit, attuning to its present and missing narratives.
Inherently situated in conversation with its location, public art invites dialogue about the histories and the places we live. This presentation is animated by a public on-line exhibit at the North Shore Museum and Archives depicting projects by CapU’s early childhood students shaped as an aesthetic-political inquiry with public art in the city of North Vancouver or abroad.
Elaine Beltran-Sellitti instructs Early Childhood Education at Capilano University. She holds a Master of Arts in Education is currently pursuing her PHD in Curriculum and Instruction at Simon Fraser University. Some of her research interests are the roles of the educator in co-constructed projects with young children, contemporary Indigenous storybooks and place attuned curriculum.
Tahmina Shayan is an instructor in the School of Childhood Studies at Capilano University. She has a Master of Science in art education and Master of Education in curriculum and instruction from Pennsylvania State University. Her work studies the ways in which local and global discourses shape and impact early childhood curriculum and teachers’ pedagogical practices and the implication of such practices on children’s learning. She is interested in children’s artistic practices, cultural studies, globalization, teacher education, curriculum and pedagogy.
