What does decolonising the curriculum (DtC) entail and is it possible in the current context? I distinguish between a thick and thin idea of DtC. Thick DtC acknowledges that alternative knowledge systems exist, other than our western view of knowledge as 'justified true belief'. Thick DtC calls for recognition of epistemic injustice to indigenous…

This article explores the coloniality of language from decolonial feminist and critical ecological linguistic frameworks, centering and building on the notion of conquistador-settler grammars.

The Scandinavian concept of "friluftsliv" has become established in the international literature on outdoor life. However, when emphasising "friluftsliv" as a recreational way of outdoor life, other understandings and nuances are disguised.

Teaching diverse student populations effectively requires implementing thoughtfully planned and flexible rich tasks and understanding a community's strengths so students can make meaningful connections to mathematics.

In this paper, Indigenous and local understandings of the role of storytelling for children (nthanu) are contrasted with the didactic understandings of children's stories that permeate the formal education frameworks of Malawi; frameworks which are deeply entangled in a colonial and (post)colonial history.

There is a need to decolonize English in order to reframe our relationships with fellow beings and our environment. English can frame water or oil as infinite, uncountable nouns, a tree as an inanimate, unconscious being, traditional and respected territories as wasteland, and animals as wildlife.

Language naming systems are local ways of organising diversity, yet the language names used by linguists are sometimes incommensurable with the lived social reality of speakers. The process of assigning language names is not neutral, trivial or objective: it is a highly political process driven and shaped by understandings of group identity,…

Avowing settler status positions settler scholars to join in storying less harmful futures for the discipline. This paper describes the author's journey toward continually avowing white settlerness through the Northern Shoshoni word daiboo' in the fulsomeness of its meanings, which include but also go beyond "white person," to help enact…

We begin this paper by considering a practice that is not normally thought of as 'environmental education'. That is, the land acknowledgement. In recent years, it has become standard for schools and other public institutions in British Columbia (BC) to acknowledge that they are situated on Indigenous land, especially when hosting events and…

Dehumanized and globalized mathematics education in the last centuries has led to established learning processes disconnected from indigenous knowledge. The effect of cognitive imperialism, given the systematic negation of the language and the culture, has as a disastrous consequence of the gradual and systematic loss of knowledge and indigenous…
