A dissertation is already an immense challenge; you did not make it any more difficult. On the contrary, you made the dissertation fun to write and revise (in the sense that such a process can be) and of high quality. I would also like to thank the College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature for funding this research with the 2019 Doctoral Dissertation Research Award. It is not only the financial award but the knowledge that others find my study important that I find encouraging. I am grateful for the invitation to present a keynote lecture at the 2019 College of LLL Conference to share my research with the public. I am most thankful to the principal, teachers, and students at the school where I did my study, who for reasons of confidentiality cannot be named here. I am amazed at the teachers’ curricular and extracurricular dedication, the creative and critical projects they shared at conferences. I also thank my Ilokano translator, Mario Doropan, who made this study possible.

  • Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education
    INDIGENOUS AND DECOLONIZING STUDIES IN EDUCATION Indigenous and decolonizing perspectives on education have long persisted alongside colonial models of education, yet too often have been subsumed within the fields of multiculturalism, critical race theory, and progressive education. Timely and compelling, Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education features research, theory, and dynamic foundational readings for educators and educational researchers who are looking for possibilities beyond the limits of liberal democratic schooling. Featuring original chapters by authors at the forefront of theorizing, practice, research, and activism, this volume helps define and imagine the exciting interstices between Indigenous and decolonizing studies and education. Each chapter forwards Indigenous principles—such as Land as literacy and water is life—that are grounded in place-specific efforts of creating Indigenous universities and schools, community organizing and social movements, trans and Two Spirit practices, refusals of state policies, and land-based and water-based pedagogies. Linda Tuhiwai Smith is a Professor of Māori and Indigenous Studies at the University of Waikato in New Zealand.
