Poetic Processing for the Spirit
This collection of critical poetic responses depicts the personal journey of a Metis woman growing up and through Canadian public schooling. The poetic analyses of my life experiences rush out through torrents of emotion and thought. Where I stood, at the confluence of energies created by the interactions of non-Indigenous teachers and Indigenous learners, within a socially-contrived context of compulsory schooling, such outpouring was a logical …
How Indigenous Knowledges and Knowledge Systems Are Centered in Research
Our intention is to synthesize and amplify how IK have been centered in research, across multiple disciplines and geographies, to benefit Indigenous Peoples. We focus on nurturing and fostering ways of doing Indigenous research and including IK in a way that supports the well-being of Indigenous Peoples

The Location of Knowledge
Introduction As co-editors of this theme issue of AJER, we have accepted that knowledge systems and teacher education programs are deeply interconnected. Further, we claim that teacher education programs must incorporate in theory and practice the fact that knowledge systems are a determining factor in the effectiveness of a teacher education program. In assessing these statements, as educators involved directly in teacher education programs, we …
