69.016 - Connecting Futures: Indigenous Genealogies of Action and Knowledge Production

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Two and three decades ago, Indigenous scholars in education made major inroads in educational research, higher education formation and leadership, post-secondary options, and political representation. These scholars created K-12 schools, undergraduate and graduate programs, even universities to confront the history of residential schooling, removals of children from Indigenous families, assimilation-based curriculum, and other forms of colonial education. In education research and other social science fields, it is more common to consider the genealogical aspects of knowledge than the genealogical dimensions of action. Framing their own work in relation to outcome of actions taken by other generations, this panel considers how the historical strings of Indigenous educational activisms that have preceded our current moment conditions the actions possible today in education.
