In this paper, I explore the transitional spaces of teaching and writing by restorying an anomalous event in my teaching of Canadian literature in a grade seven classroom and my efforts to decolonise that teaching. Thinking with Elizabeth Ellsworth's concept of pedagogy as it relates to knowledge in the making and the learning self, I take…

Less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) have traditionally lagged behind in terms of the availability of learning/teaching materials and of appropriate pedagogical models. For many languages, online tools, courses, and digital archives have been developed in recent years that offer opportunities for both formal instruction and self-study. Now the…

The Philippine educational system and its core curriculum is oriented toward the formation of the modern, autonomous, rational subject, particularly one that will fit into the contemporary global market and production system. Through this system, Filipinos are deepening the colonization of their rationalities and subjectivities by imposing a…

In response to dominant discourses of quality and an over-reliance on humancentric practice, the "Learning with Place" framework emerges as an innovative way to rethink practices, structures, and policies within education and beyond. 'Learning with Place' views the local Place as agentic, recognising Place as inclusive of local First…

The importance of the arts and humanities in today's world cannot be overstated. Challenges to our common humanity are arising in all societies on the planet. The arts and humanities can reconnect people to our shared humanity. For Indigenous communities, the shock of dehumanization has been a part of our history. Tribal colleges and universities,…

This article hinges on the conviction that the centuries-long dominance of colonial worldview has resulted in the creation of educational practices that perpetuate colonial forms of relationship denial in mostly subtle and unquestioned ways.

In Native contexts, art has an existential importance for preserving and perpetuating both communal and individual identity and wholeness, which is qualitatively different from art's more marginalized place in modern Western capitalist societies. As such, art in all its forms is understood in an educational context, such as the Navajo Nation's…

Asian diaspora imaginaries/futurities refer to the ways Asian diasporas imagine futurities and create possibilities for themselves and their descendants beyond the constraints of oppressive spaces/places. I explore the theoretical traditions, cartographies, and renditions of Asian diaspora imaginaries/futurities. Inspired by AfroFuturism,…

This project centered Indigenous history, culture, and sovereignty while also teaching about scientific principles connected to plants, agriculture, and gardening--key ideas the authors and professors hoped their preservice teachers (PSTs) would be able to use with the young learners in their future classrooms. The purpose of this work is for PSTs…

The Global South has become the mining…
