Erin Yun

Senior Educational Consultant
She/Her

I am first generation Korean Canadian and grew up and spent most of my young adult years on the traditional territory of the Iroquois, Haudenosaunee, and Anishinaabe people, which is now known as London, Ontario. I moved to the shared, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, people in 2012 to pursue a Master’s degree in Education at UBC. I am guided by, and strive to be, accountable to the people who have stewarded the lands and waters which I occupy and continuing the lifelong learning in decolonial and community-centered work.

I joined CTLT in 2013 as a Graduate Academic Assistant and moved into the role of an Educational Resource Developer for the Teaching, Learning and Professional Development team at CTLT for a few years. I joined the Indigenous Initiatives team in 2014 shortly after finishing my degree and feel very privileged to be able to do this work alongside amazing colleagues and community. The work at CTLT Indigenous Initiatives and within a university such as UBC, is very important to me. Growing up in suburbia in the 90’s, I often experienced (or witnessed) racism against IBPOC communities, which brings together my values in how instructors can center IBPOC voices and transformative learning.  I am continually learning and exploring how faculty can create a more supportive and productive classroom climate. One of the educational resources that I was part in developing that speaks to ways that faculty can create a supportive and thoughtful classroom climate is through the Renewed What I Learned in Class Today project.
