This paper argues for a pluralist notion of educational citizenship as a lens for interpreting struggles for justice in education. The first section discusses how activism is conceived of in three models of educational citizenship: a normative nation-state orientation, a counter-publics orientation, and an Indigenous sovereignty orientation. The…

According to Jennifer Billman, western evaluation bias against indigenous thinking is due to ontological incompetence. If so, the solution she offers (a highly abstract list of criteria) is inadequate since it fails to address let alone resolve a wide range of philosophical dilemmas at the intersection of logic and ontology. Furthermore, it fails…

This article reports on students' accounts of te Tiriti o Waitangi as a flawed agreement that was a cause of subsequent conflict. We examine how the notion of a "flawed treaty" is developed in history and educational texts. We argue that when the cause of conflict is attributed to the failures of those engaged in the historical…

Drawing on collaborative research with MILPA on their liberatory curriculum, Telpochcalli, this essay offers "encuentros" as a regenerative ethico-methodology in community-led and kinship-grounded anthropological research into Chicano Indigenous educational spaces. "Encuentros," encounters with others for relationship-building…

This study hopes to contribute to a process of storying, listening, and sharing counter-narratives of Adivasi and Denotified Tribal authors at Muskaan in Bhopal, India.

Charles Sturt University had the motto "For the common good" but listening to the wisdom of the voices of the Wiradjuri Elders, "Yindyamarra Winhanganha" -- the wisdom of knowing how to live well in a world worth living in -- now guides us. We teach and research in mathematics with a deep-seated belief about mathematics and…

Since 1991, Chile has provided large, renewable cash grants to indigenous children in lower-income households, conditional on school enrollment. We estimate intent-to-treat effects of grant exposure on indigenous adults and their children, leveraging variation in expected grant exposure across birth cohorts and never-treated adults, and using…

We recognize the efforts of individual faculty representing disciplines in the arts, education, humanities, library, and nursing to redesign class activities and courses. Our purpose is to share models and…

This inquiry aims to demonstrate how dwelling in a phenomenological space during the experience of art by Black, Indigenous, and people of color artists can spark the process of recognizing the ways in which we have been programmed by colonial thought. In responding to five guiding questions as individuals in a process of phenomenological art…

The effects of race can manifest in various ways in evaluation contexts, making it critical for evaluators to unpack how race and racism are "complex and destructive forces" for racially minoritized and Indigenous communities. The clarion calls by evaluators on the need for greater attention to issues of race and racism in evaluation…

This paper critically assesses the meaning of Indigenous Knowledge from a global context. Using content analysis of myriad descriptions of the concept and quasi-quantitative statistical techniques, this study examines the global elements that should be used to characterize Indigenous Knowledge. This is prompted by the fact that for decades,…

The privileging of academic English in research bypasses important issues regarding multilingualism in doctoral education. In Australia, the current monolingual research paradigm limits the scope and nature of the research evidence that informs policymaking, neglecting the experiences, contributions and needs of the First Nations and migrant…

The stories of our Indigenous Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ Relatives were silenced and erased from our history as Indigenous Peoples. However, their existence defies and disrupts settler colonialism, and with their joy, liberation, and decolonization are made possible. This gift is a reflection from an Indigenous Trans-femme within the colonizing…
