31.067 - Indigenizing the Doctoral Process to Reclaim Higher Education for Our Communities

Sat, April 6, 12:20 to 1:50pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 700 Level, Room 714B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this symposium, participants will learn how the University of New Mexico educational leadership program intentionally created a doctoral cohort that is Indigenous based and focused that included Indigenous and tribal community narrative and feedback in its development. The NALE doctoral cohort program included these same communities as sites for reciprocation and centering community in many of the courses offered. Instead of community being an afterthought, there was intentional inclusion in all aspects of honoring and including Indigenous community as the center to build Indigenous educational leaders who are also community leaders and advocates.
