The Challenge of Indigenous Education
Includes many case studies
Indigenous Education
Indigenous Education is a compilation of conceptual chapters and national case studies that includes empirical research based on a series of data collection methods. The book provides up-to-date scholarly research on global trends on three issues of paramount importance with indigenous education—language, culture, and identity. It also offers a strategic comparative and international education policy statement on recent shifts in indigenous education, and new approaches to explore, develop, and improve comparative education and policy research globally. Contributing authors examine several social justice issues related to indigenous education. In addition to case perspectives from 12 countries and global regions, the volume includes five conceptual chapters on topics that influence indigenous education, including policy debates, the media, the united nations, formal and informal education systems, and higher education.
Delivering Services in Multicultural Societies
Over the last two decades the world has witnessed an important transformation of the concept of citizenship and social integration, increasingly recognizing that cultural and ethnic diversity need to be considered when designing and implementing social policies. The increasing cultural diversity of societies, along with the important role culture plays in forming identities in these societies, creates major challenges for national and local governments in ensuring social cohesion and social inclusion. 'Delivering Services in Multicultural Societies' reviews recent approaches to recognizing cultural diversity when delivering basic services. It first discusses how supporting cultural diversity...
Perspectives on Indigenous Pedagogy in Education: Learning From One Another
As Indigenous pedagogy continues to grow in the modern educational landscape, it is critical to fully understand key questions such as what Indigenous pedagogy is, why Indigenous pedagogy is important, and how you link Indigenous theory and practice in the classroom. Further study is required to ensure Indigenous pedagogy is utilized appropriately in education. Perspectives on Indigenous Pedagogy in Education: Learning From One Another explores the complexities of negotiating and integrating Indigenous pedagogies in education and presents a variety of global perspectives on Indigenous pedagogies in education. Covering key topics such as collaborative learning, storytelling, and Indigenous experience, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, administrators, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Multilingual Education and Sustainable Diversity Work
This book documents current research showing how, in countries where educational practices are inclusive of linguistic diversity and responsive to local conditions, implementation of bi/multiilingual education in both system-wide and minority settings can be successful.
Language Issues in Comparative Education
This volume compiles a unique yet complementary collection of chapters that take a strategic comparative perspective on education systems, regions of the world, and/or ethnolinguistic communities with a focus on non-dominant languages and cultures in education. Comparison and contrast within each article and across articles illustrates the potential for using home languages – which in many cases are in non-dominant positions relative to other languages in society – in inclusive multilingual and multicultural forms of education. The 22 authors demonstrate how bringing non-dominant languages and cultures into schooling has liberatory, transformative potential for learners from ethnolinguis...
ILO Convention on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples, 1989 (No. 169)

Indigenous Language and Social Identity
For almost 40 years, Michael Walsh has been working alongside Indigenous people: documenting language, music and other traditional knowledge, acting on behalf of claimants to land in the Northern Territory, and making crucial contributions to the revitalisation of Aboriginal languages in NSW. This volume, with contributions from his colleagues and students, celebrates his abiding interest in and commitment to Indigenous society with papers in two broad themes. 'Language, identity and country' addresses the often complex relations between Aboriginal social groups and countries, and linguistic identity. In 'Language, identity and social action' authors discuss the role that language plays in maintaining social identities in the realms of conversation, story-telling, music, language games, and in education. 'Language and Social Identity in Australian Indigenous Communities' will be of interest to students of linguistics, Indigenous studies, anthropology, and sociology.
