Visibilizing Indigenous Women and Femme Relatives’ Experiences in Higher Education”—Guest Editor Notes
Beyond Access: Indigenizing Programs for Native American Student Success
Coalitional refusal in a neoliberal academy
In this project, we share how we—two differently situated Women of Color, one Indigenous and one Chicana, with myriad other identities (e.g. mothers, partners, daughters, friends, co-conspirators, academics)—grew to be friends, and how we foster our friendship as a site of coalitional refusal for creating a more just academy. We offer our reflections in hopes that they will be useful to others who also want to work towards coalition and refuse th…
Resisting the Violence through Writing: A Conversation with Tommy Orange
The following excerpt comes from an interview conducted with Cheyenne author Tommy Orange during the 2019 National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education (ncore) in Portland, Oregon. We sat down in front of a crowd of five thousand conference attendees to discuss his wildly successful first book, the PEN/Hemingway award-winning There, There, pushing back against Native tropes, and the new generation of Native authors
Reciprocity and Nation Building in Native Women's Doctoral Education
Native students remain largely underrepresented in doctoral education.

It seems imperative that we take a cl…

We address how we, as Indigenous women scholars, extend beyond transactional validity practices in qualitative research and engage in a collective form of validity that is holistic and grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing. We explore…

A research study was designed to asses…
