14.023 - Indigenizing International and Comparative Higher Education

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This session will problematize and challenge dominant theories and methods in comparative higher education that often rely on the nation state as a unit of analysis. Such analysis often leaves out the experiences and insights of Indigenous peoples. The panel will draw upon Indigenous methodologies and theories and explore these through an international and comparative higher education lens.
