[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers, do you have these in your e-mail signature and why or why not?

Pronouns, degree(s), land acknowledgment, inspirational quote, etc[/quote]

Land acknowledgment? Wtf? What on earth does that mean?[/quote]

This has been huge in Canada and Australia for the past few years. [/quote]

Yup - just got back from Australia.  Every time we landed, the FA announced something along the lines of "we recognize we have just landed on XYZ indigenous land and honor the elders past, present, and emerging."  
It was interesting, but not sure what the point was... how are they actually honoring indigenous elders?  They aren't, of course.
I've heard it at a few conferences in the US in the last few years.  
Again, interesting, but unless you are actually going to make some meaningful change or contribution in your life it seems... pointless.[/quote]

It's required in Canada.  Part of Truth and Reconciliation.   Making the statement publicly honors them. I guess.[/quote]

With so many things Canada has gotten to the point where they should just permanently walk bent over.[/quote]
