Across Lands and Waters: Dreaming Indigenous Educational Futures

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

What is the future of Indigenous education? And how is the question of Indigenous education ultimately a question of how will climate change and eroding democracy shape the future? This session brings together scholars who have been grappling with Indigenous educational futures across different regions to understand how the particularities of place, of histories, of culture, of language, shape the present and future needs. The scholars in this session take up various tribal perspectives, that collectively help illuminate the complexities and possibilities of Indigenous education in relation to climate change, democracy and development and the ways in which creating powerful forms of Indigenous education aimed at cultivating planetary wellbeing demonstrate models and pathways for everyone.
