Abstract

In settler colonial societies such as the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, strategies of public education have produced schools as sites of cultural assimilation and standardization, and alienation, from home language, community, and land. This symposium contributes to an emergent literature within curriculum studies and environmental education and research that attends to relations between people and land (and water, and sky) in ways that counter, decenter, and surpass colonial constructions of land as property.
