Janey Lew

I’m a second-generation Chinese-Canadian, born and raised on the unceded, ancestral lands of Musqueam, Squamish, and Tseil-watuth peoples. I joined the CTLT Indigenous Initiatives 2015 as an educational developer working to support capacity-building for Indigenous engagement in teaching and learning. In my current role as Senior Strategist, I support and liaise with academic and other partner units on Indigenous and anti-racist strategic educational priorities and initiatives, serve on advisory and curricular committees, consult with faculty on courses and curriculum, and collaborate to manage II team projects, processes, strategy and capacity. I hold a PhD in Comparative Ethnic Studies and have taught post-secondary courses in literary and cultural studies, academic writing, First Nations studies, and Asian Canadian/Asian American studies. I’m also an ICF-trained coach, and I am currently curious about liberatory coaching models that center and support IBPOC leadership, anti-oppressive education, and systemic transformation.
