Highlighting transformative changes in Canadian universities, Indigenous Knowledges and Higher Education in Canada illuminates the profound impact of Indigenous knowledges on reshaping policies, practices, and cultures within higher education.
Indigenous Knowledges and Higher Education in Canada explores the intricate relationship between Indigenous knowledges and the evolving landscape of higher education in Canada, revealing their profound influence in shaping institutional policies, practices, and cultures. Grounded in decolonial perspectives, the book addresses the persistent struggle within universities to confront ongoing colonialism and achieve systemic change.
Focused on shifts in institutional governance, policy, teaching, research, innovation, and culture, the book draws on extensive document analysis and personal narratives of Indigenous individuals across various Canadian universities. Embracing a decolonial perspective, it underscores the resilience of Indigenous communities in challenging traditional paradigms of higher education. The book reveals how, through critical grassroots efforts, Indigenous peoples are reclaiming their rightful place in academia, reshaping institutional dynamics from the ground up. It argues that the emergence of Indigenous knowledges within academia is the result of proactive and ongoing efforts by Indigenous individuals asserting their presence in Canadian higher education.
Ultimately, Indigenous Knowledges and Higher Education in Canada advocates for a path of decolonization through intentional learning and unlearning, envisioning a future where Indigenous voices and perspectives are authentically centred in the fabric of academic discourse and practice.
