Book excerpt: Decolonizing and Indigenizing Education in Canada thinks boldly about how to make space for Indigenous knowledges and have an honest discourse on truth and reconciliation. By engaging with Indigenous epistemologies and strategies, the contributors navigate the complexities of the decolonization and indigenization of post-secondary institutions. What is needed in this field is less theorizing and more action: the contributors offer practical steps on how one might positively transform the Canadian academy. Through this lens of action-based solutions, each of the fifteen chapters advances critical scholarship on issues of pedagogy, curriculum, shifting power dynamics, and challenging Eurocentric perspectives in higher education. With contributions from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous academics from across Canada and in varying academic positions, Decolonizing and Indigenizing Education in Canada provides a unique perspective specific to the Canadian education system. Featuring discussion questions, further reading lists, and practical examples of how to engage in decolonization work within the academy, this text is an essential resource for students and scholars studying Indigenous knowledges, education and pedagogies, and curriculum studies.

Book excerpt: "Providing practical and theoretical perspectives, this edited collection seeks to advance critical scholarship on several issues related to interrogating the complexities around decolonization and indigenization of postsecondary institutions. The book considers the place of Indigenous epistemologies, knowledges, methodologies, curriculum, and pedagogy. The volume is built around two connecting themes: Indigenous epistemologies (exploring the place of Indigenous Knowledges in postsecondary curriculum including Indigenization of curriculum and pedagogy) and decolonizing postsecondary institutions (building space in the academy for Indigenous peoples, resistance and reconciliation). book is timely in an era of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada with most postsecondary institutions working toward indigenization and decolonization."--

Book Synopsis Decolonizing Education by : Marie Battiste

Download or read book Decolonizing Education written by Marie Battiste. This book was released on 2019-01-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on treaties, international law, the work of other Indigenous scholars, and especially personal experiences, Marie Battiste documents the nature of Eurocentric models of education, and their devastating impacts on Indigenous knowledge. Chronicling the negative consequences of forced assimilation, racism inherent to colonial systems of education, and the failure of current educational policies for Aboriginal populations, Battiste proposes a new model of education, arguing the preservation of Aboriginal knowledge is an Aboriginal right. Central to this process is the repositioning of Indigenous humanities, sciences, and languages as vital fields of knowledge, revitalizing a knowledge system which incorporates both Indigenous and Eurocentric thinking.

Book Synopsis Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education by : Linda Tuhiwai Smith

Download or read book Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education written by Linda Tuhiwai Smith. This book was released on 2018-06-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous and decolonizing perspectives on education have long persisted alongside colonial models of education, yet too often have been subsumed within the fields of multiculturalism, critical race theory, and progressive education. Timely and compelling, Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education features research, theory, and dynamic foundational readings for educators and educational researchers who are looking for possibilities beyond the limits of liberal democratic schooling. Featuring original chapters by authors at the forefront of theorizing, practice, research, and activism, this volume helps define and imagine the exciting interstices between Indigenous and decolonizing studies and education. Each chapter forwards Indigenous principles - such as Land as literacy and water as life - that are grounded in place-specific efforts of creating Indigenous universities and schools, community organizing and social movements, trans and Two Spirit practices, refusals of state policies, and land-based and water-based pedagogies.
