21.023 - Indigeneity, Students, and Higher Education: The Complexities, the Realities, and What YOU Can Do to Support Indigenous Student Success

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

From locations across Turtle Island, this panel brings together an intergenerational panel of Indigenous faculty and graduate students. Each of their scholarship is connected to supporting Indigenous student success embedded and centered in Indigenous ways of knowing and being through policy, programs, and pedagogy. Through their theoretical and methodological perspectives, such as storytelling (Archibald, 2008) and relationality (Wilson, 2008), these scholars will share through a dialogue lessons learned, ongoing challenges and opportunities, and more importantly, what all of us can do to support and empower Indigenous student success.
