The following is offered as only one Indigenous person's perspective--a Yuchi Muscogee tribal member's perspective. Several questions about AI emerge when we consider it through an (not the) Indigenous lens. Where is AI's heart and where is its spirit?

Digital diet and detox can be defined as strategies to balance technology use and mitigate the adverse effects of digital dependency. These concepts are designed to reduce negative impacts such as stress, insomnia, and social isolation, which can result from excessive reliance on technology and prolonged screen exposure. In recent years, digital…

In higher education and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), interlocking oppressions can lead to inequitable environments for those who hold marginalized identities. Instructors can play key roles in either exacerbating or mitigating these inequities through their pedagogical approaches and choice of curricular material.…

Educational research that effectively addresses larger sociopolitical and sociohistorical contexts must interrogate macro-level decision-making and policies "and" prioritize the lived experiences of those who directly affect and are affected by social structures. This project explores racial and economic justice work in schools by…

Notable gaps in academic literature exist as it pertains to understanding the influence of institutional characteristics on modality enrollment patterns in the community college environment. Given these gaps, this study examined whether institutional control, locale, and size could serve as predictors of whether a community college is more…

Cisgender (or 'cis') refers to people who identify with the gender identity assigned to them at birth.…
