  "textContent": "College educators have a duty to confront the lived realities of white supremacy and settler\ncolonialism as they present themselves in the classroom, the historical record, and the academy\nat large. This response paper engages with the ideas and experiences presented by the fellow\npanel authors, and it contemplates the necessary steps needed to counteract the persistence of\nsettler colonial and white supremacist ideologies in post-secondary education from the\nperspective of a junior historian. By devoting ourselves to the accessibility of educational\nmaterials, including diverse interpretations and accounts of the past in our courses, and not\nshying away from the discomfort that confronting these systems will cause, educators in\ncollege settings can work against white supremacy and settler colonialism.",
