Indigenous Knowledges and Open Education Edited Volume (Open Access)
Call for Chapter Proposals
The open education movement has provided a substantial improvement to the learning and
research needs of students, faculty, and community members. This has been done through
various barrier
free methods of publishing, and mitigates any financial strains that can occur. However,
within the open access movement there needs to be careful consideration for Indigenous
Knowledges, which are deeply rooted in community defined ethics and protocols, that do not
fit into ordinary academic contexts. Many conversations around open education (OE) focus
on a Eurocentric framework of copyright and intellectual property rights that are
sometimes in tension with Indigenous knowledge systems, and the goal of this volume is
to centre Indigenous ways of knowing, culture, experiences, and worldviews within the work
of open education pedagogy and advocacy work. The publication target date is summer
2023.
The following provides detailed steps for submitting a chapter proposal to this open
access edited volume. We encourage chapters (of 4000 to 6000 words, excluding references)
that are authored
with diverse representation and scholarship (including student authors where possible),
that reflect one of the following types of contributions:
* Essay (theoretical or conceptual paper grounded in the literature)
* Research paper (based on systematic exploration of a research question)
* Case Study (critical, evidence-based, and theoretically grounded reflections on the
intersections of Indigenous knowledges and open education)
