English-medium state schools in New Zealand have been directed to begin implementing the new Aotearoa New Zealand's histories curriculum content from 2023. In response to the draft version of the curriculum document, Bell & Russell (Bell and Russell, "New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies" 57:21-35, 2022) highlighted the…

What does decolonising the curriculum (DtC) entail and is it possible in the current context? I distinguish between a thick and thin idea of DtC. Thick DtC acknowledges that alternative knowledge systems exist, other than our western view of knowledge as 'justified true belief'. Thick DtC calls for recognition of epistemic injustice to indigenous…

We explore privilege and its systemic intertwining with management education curricula. We take the view that "privilege as power and control" is intimately bound up with shareholder primacy as a foundation of mainstream management education (Lund Dean & Forray, 2021). In an attempt to tackle this, we provide a single case study of…

As PhD students and sessional lecturers, we undertook a collaborative narrative study to explore our pedagogical and curricular approaches to decolonizing a community development course offered in our College of Education. We gathered our conversations, reflective journals, and notes, then wove together the narratives thematically using a…

In this article, we discuss a curricular collaboration between the art education program at Miami University and members of a research and education center, the Myaamia Center, affiliated with the Indigenous nation, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, whose people originally inhabited the land where the university sits.

In 2017, the Oregon Legislature enacted Senate Bill 13, known as Tribal History/Shared History. This bill was the culmination of decades of organizing and curriculum work by the nine federally recognized Tribes within Oregon.

Chapter 4, "Indigeneity and sense of place" begins by addressing the problematic concept of indigeneity, noting that an official definition of "indigenous" is yet to be adopted by any UN agency owing to the diversity of indigenous peoples. The thesis of this chapter is that there are commonalities in respect of sense of place…

Six years ago, the Oceti Sakowin Essential Understandings and Standards (OSEUS) were approved by the State Board of Education Standards based on legislation passed in 2007. Despite implementation efforts such as the WoLakota Project that have helped individual teachers, many others needed additional support to figure out how to incorporate these…

Inquiring into Trudy, Shaun, and Janice's experiences alongside Anishinabe Elder Dr. Mary Isabelle Young's living "pimatisiwin" (walking in a good way) and "pimosayta" (learning to walk together) with us, we show how her living in these relationally ethical ways grounded our creating and offering an "Assessment as…

School reform policy in post-colonial societies is often guided by Euro-American theory from the North. Theory generated in the South is marginalised as backward and unscientific. The present study, couched within the Southern Theory framework, disrupts the hegemony of Northern Theory by examining the implementation of the indigenous philosophy of…

This case describes an ongoing system reform effort to transform the learning experiences of young people in British Columbia through changes to curriculum and graduation requirements.

This book explores intersections between sense of place, the formation of identity, indigeneity and colonisation, literature and literary study, the arts, and a revisioned school curriculum for the Anthropocene. Underpinning the book is a conviction that sense of place is central to the fostering of the change of heart required to secure the…

In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released the "94 Calls to Action," which asked educational and memory institutions to address their relationship with the Indigenous Peoples in what is now known as Canada. One of many steps toward repairing past injustice and moving toward reconciliation was the creation of a…

The continued erasure of place and politics from modernity's education systems and disciplinary knowledges perpetuates racialised and ecological injustices and extractive relations. In this paper I affirm the necessity of using evolving methods of critical place inquiry and relocalisation in higher education to redress these erasures. I illustrate…

At Buru Island,…
