Book Synopsis Strength Basing, Empowering and Regenerating Indigenous Knowledge Education by : John Davis
Download or read book Strength Basing, Empowering and Regenerating Indigenous Knowledge Education written by John Davis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strength Basing, Empowering and Regenerating Indigenous Knowledge Education demonstrates how to bring Indigenous Knowledges to the forefront of education practice and provides educators with the tools to enact culturally responsive curricula and pedagogies, ensuring positive educational outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and students. In this book, John Davis presents Indigenous Knowledges – ways of doing, creating, and learning – combined with contemporary education practice, to develop a culturally responsive pedagogy that builds on the strengths that Indigenous Australian students bring to the classroom. Setting Cultural Proficiency as the benchmark, the book offers educators a lens through which to review their education practice. It moves beyond the deficit model of Indigenous education by challenging non-Indigenous educators to reflect on personal biases and to raise their expectations of Indigenous students. Not ‘tacked on’ to an existing curriculum, or specific to a single school term or unit of learning, Riteway places Indigenous Knowledges at the centre of education. The approach is holistic and adaptable to any educational context, from the early years right through to tertiary education. Providing a roadmap toward transformational education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and students, this book will be essential reading for pre- and in-service educators alike.
Book Synopsis Indigenous Knowledge and Education by : Malia Villegas
Download or read book Indigenous Knowledge and Education written by Malia Villegas and published by Harvard Educational Review Reprint Series. This book was released on 2008 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together essays that explore Indigenous ways of knowing and that consider how such knowledge can inform educational practices and institutions. Indigenous Knowledge is resiliently local in character and thus poses a distinct contrast to the international, more impersonal system of knowledge prevalent in Western educational institutions. In the words of Mik'maq scholar Marie Battiste--a leading proponent of Indigenous Knowledge and a contributor to this volume--Indigenous Knowledge expresses "the vibrant relationships between the people, their ecosystems, and the other living beings and spirits that share their lands." Indigenous Knowledge and Education argues that such knowledge has much to offer schools and students in the United States and beyond. The volume examines a wide range of Indigenous cultures and educational settings, including Native American, Haitian, Mexican, African, and Australian. The essays are grouped into three themes that exemplify many Indigenous cultures: struggle, strength, and survivance--the latter a notion of survival that emphasizes remembrance, regeneration, and spiritual renewal. Each of these themes is explored in a rich array of articles and capped with new essays by Marie Battiste, Gregory A. Cajete, and Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy. A wide-ranging and persistently stimulating volume, Indigenous Knowledge and Education casts contemporary theories and debates about education in a new--and essential--light. Contributors: David Wallace Adams, Lilia I. Bartolome, Marie Battiste, Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy, Gregory A. Cajete, Fernando Cardenal, Munir Fasheh, Sandy Marie Anglas Grande, Josiane Hudicourt-Barnes, Susan M. Kardos, Richard Katz, Kenneth Liberman, K.

Book Synopsis Indigenous Education and Empowerment by : Ismael Abu-Saad
Download or read book Indigenous Education and Empowerment written by Ismael Abu-Saad and published by Rowman Altamira. This book was released on 2006 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous people have often been confronted with education systems that ignore their cultural and historical perspectives. Largely unsuccessful projects of assimilation have been the predominant outcome of indigenous communities' encounters with state schools, as many indigenous students fail to conform to mainstream cultural norms. This insightful volume is an important contribution to our understanding of indigenous empowerment through education. The contributors to this volume work in the fields of education, social development and community empowerment among indigenous communities around the world. Their essays create a new foundation for implementing specialized indigenous/minority education worldwide, and engage the simultaneous projects of cultural preservation and social integration. This work will be vital for scholars in Native American studies, ethnic studies, and education.

Book Synopsis Indigenizing Education by : Jeremy Garcia
Download or read book Indigenizing Education written by Jeremy Garcia and published by Research for Social Justice: Personal~Passionate~Participatory Inquiry. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The co-editors of Indigenizing Education: Transformative Research, Theories, and Praxis bring various scholars, educators, youth, and community voices together in ways that reimagine and recenter a learning process that embodies Indigenous education rooted in critical Indigenous studies and pedagogies. By reimagining Indigenous education, we suggest that it be rooted in opportunities for a deep analysis of the systemic processes and forces of settler colonialism which maintain structures that defy and dismiss our right to engage an education that is critical, culturally sustaining, and centers Native nation-building. Thus, reimagining and recentering an education rooted in critical Indigenous studies and pedagogies becomes a process of activating a critical Indigenous consciousness that renews and sustains goals to activate agency, social change, and advocacy for Indigenous peoples. The chapters are organized across three sections, entitled Indigenizing Curriculum and Pedagogy, Revitalizing and Sustaining Indigenous Languages, and Engaging Families and Communities in Indigenous Education. We close the book with a chapter centered on a call to action for Indigenous teaching and teacher education. We are indebted to the Indigenous youth, families, and communities who have shared their experiences with education across the chapters and who provide pathways to reconceptualize the intersection between research, theories, and praxis in Indigenous education. The co-edited book centers Indigenous epistemologies that serve as points of healing and resistance-leaving us to reaffirm, draw on, and enact Indigenous knowledge as a humanizing pedagogy and as a pedagogy of resistance. Indigenous peoples have systems of education that reflect specific knowledge, worldviews, and relations to natural elements and land which reaffirm one's Indigeneity. The contributing scholar-educators speak to the resilience and strength embedded in Indigenous knowledges. As a result, this book is a quest to understand and learn from the ways in which various Indigenous scholarship and theoretical orientations are evident and enacted with Indigenous youth and educators as well as in Indigenous learning contexts. Indigenous research and theories offers opportunities for Indigenous youth, educators, and community members to engage in transformative praxis. We perceive transformative praxis, we perceive this to be critical to any movement toward Tribal self-determination and sovereignty as it is a dialectical process that includes self-reflection and analysis of the oppressive systems. It is an intentional effort that challenges oppressive systems and applies actions to address and transform issues that have long impacted Indigenous peoples. Of significance, each of the contributors have initiated transformative praxis by activating a critical Indigenous consciousness with diverse Indigenous youth, educators, families, and community members. Across the chapters, you will observe dialogues between Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars as they enacted various theories, shared stories, applied various curriculum and teaching practices, and reflected on the process of engaging in critical dialogues that generates a (re)new(ed) spirit of hope and commitment to intellectual and spiritual sovereignty. The book makes significant contributions to the fields of critical Indigenous studies, critical and culturally sustaining pedagogy, and decolonization. Each of these field are beneficial for Indigenous education, sovereignty, and Native nation-building"--

Book Synopsis Democracy and Education by : John Dewey
Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book Synopsis Biodiversity and Traditional Knowledge by : Sarah A Laird
Download or read book Biodiversity and Traditional Knowledge written by Sarah A Laird and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biodiversity research and prospecting are long-standing activities taking place in a new legal and ethical environment. Following entry into force of the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1993, and other recent policy developments, expectations and obligations for research and prospecting partnerships have changed. However, to date there are few guides to integrating these concepts with practice. This book offers practical guidance on how to arrive at equitable biodiversity research and prospecting partnerships. Drawing on experience and lessons learned from around the world, it provides case studies, analysis and recommendations in a range of areas that together form a new framework for creating equity in these partnerships. They include researcher codes of ethics, institutional policies, community research agreements, the design of more effective commercial partnerships and biodiversity prospecting contracts, the drafting and implementation of national 'access and benefit-sharing' laws, and institutional tools for the distribution of financial benefits. As part of the People and Plants initiative to enhance the role of communities in efforts to conserve biodiversity and use natural resources sustainably, Biodiversity and Traditional Knowledge will be invaluable to students, researchers and local communities, academic institutions, international agencies, government bodies and companies involved in biodiversity research, prospecting and conservation.
Download or read book Red Pedagogy written by Sandy Grande and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking text explores the intersection between dominant modes of critical educational theory and the socio-political landscape of American Indian education. Grande asserts that, with few exceptions, the matters of Indigenous people and Indian education have been either largely ignored or indiscriminately absorbed within critical theories of education. Furthermore, American Indian scholars and educators have largely resisted engagement with critical educational theory, tending to concentrate instead on the production of historical monographs, ethnographic studies, tribally-centered curricula, and site-based research. Such a focus stems from the fact that most American Indian scholars feel compelled to address the socio-economic urgencies of their own communities, against which engagement in abstract theory appears to be a luxury of the academic elite. While the author acknowledges the dire need for practical-community based research, she maintains that the global encroachment on Indigenous lands, resources, cultures and communities points to the equally urgent need to develop transcendent theories of decolonization and to build broad-based coalitions.

Book Synopsis ‘We Are All Here to Stay’ by : Dominic O’Sullivan
Download or read book ‘We Are All Here to Stay’ written by Dominic O’Sullivan and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, 144 UN member states voted to adopt a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US were the only members to vote against it. Each eventually changed its position. This book explains why and examines what the Declaration could mean for sovereignty, citizenship and democracy in liberal societies such as these. It takes Canadian Chief Justice Lamer’s remark that ‘we are all here to stay’ to mean that indigenous peoples are ‘here to stay’ as indigenous. The book examines indigenous and state critiques of the Declaration but argues that, ultimately, it is an instrument of significant transformative potential showing how state sovereignty need not be a power that is exercised over and above indigenous peoples. Nor is it reasonably a power that displaces indigenous nations’ authority over their own affairs. The Declaration shows how and why, and this book argues that in doing so, it supports more inclusive ways of thinking about how citizenship and democracy may work better. The book draws on the Declaration to imagine what non-colonial political relationships could look like in liberal societies.
Book Synopsis Agroecology Now! by : Colin Ray Anderson
Download or read book Agroecology Now! written by Colin Ray Anderson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book develops a framework for advancing agroecology transformations focusing on power, politics and governance. It explores the potential of agroecology as a sustainable and socially just alternative to today’s dominant food regime. Agroecology is an ecological approach to farming that addresses climate change and biodiversity loss while contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. Agroecology transformations represent a challenge to the power of corporations in controlling food system and a rejection of the industrial food systems that are at the root of many social and ecological ills. In this book the authors analyse the conditions that enable and disable agroecology’s potential and present six ‘domains of transformation’ where it comes into conflict with the dominant food system. They argue that food sovereignty, community-self organization and a shift to bottom-up governance are critical for the transformation to a socially just and ecologically viable food system. This book will be a valuable resource to researchers, students, policy makers and professionals across multidisciplinary areas including in the fields of food politics, international development, sustainability and resilience.

Download or read book Indigenous and Local Communities and Protected Areas written by Grazia Borrini and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional approaches to managing protected areas have often seen people and nature as separate entities. They preclude human communities from using natural resources and assume that their concerns are incompatible with conservation. Protected area approaches and models that see conservation as compatible with human communities are explored. The main themes are co-managed protected areas and community conserved areas. Practical guidance is offered, drawing on recent experience, reflections and advice developed at the local, national, regional and international level.
