Sara Schroeter joined the Faculty of Education as an Assistant Professor of Drama Education in July of 2016 . She is an interdisciplinary scholar who brings a range of experiences working in formal and informal educational settings in Quebec , Ontario , British Columbia , and West Africa ( Senegal ) to her research and teaching .
Sara is completing her doctoral work at the University of British Columbia ( UBC ) in Literacy education . Her research investigates the use of drama for teaching social studies and engaging students in exploring differences of race , gender , class , and ethnicity that are embedded in the curriculum . Sara has primarily conducted her research in Francophone minority language schools , where there is a pressing need to examine the intersections of language , racialization , heteronormativity , and colonization .
Throughout her time at UBC , Sara was deeply involved in teaching , in French and English , in the Faculty of Education ’ s undergraduate and graduate programs . She was awarded the Killam Graduate Teaching Assistant Award for excellence in teaching in 2014 .
Sara enjoys learning about the histories and cultures of the places she lives and is thrilled to have the opportunity to learn more about life on Treaty 4 land . She considers Montreal and South- Eastern Ontario “ home ,” though many years on the West Coast have rendered the smells of cedar and the ocean air home-like as well . On her journey to Regina with her family this past summer , Sara was awestruck by the beauty of Southern Saskatchewan and eager to see the rest of the province .
