  • Toward a Tribal Critical Race Theory in Education

    Routledge eBooks · 2022 · 73 citations

    1st authorCorresponding

    In this article, I outline the central tenets of an emerging theory that I call Tribal Critical Race Theory (TribalCrit) to more completely address the issues of Indigenous Peoples in the United States. TribalCrit has its roots in Critical Race Theory, Anthropology, Political/Legal Theory, Political Science, American Indian Literatures, Education, and American Indian Studies. This theoretical framework provides a way to address the complicated relationship between American Indians and the United…

  • Computing for all?: Examining critical biases in computational tools for learning

    British Journal of Educational Technology · 2020-12-29 · 26 citations

    articleOpen access

    Abstract Given the increased need for broadening participation in computing, there must be a focus not just on providing culturally relevant content but also on building accessible and inclusive computational tools. Most efforts to design culturally responsive computational tools redesign surface features, often through making nominal changes to add cultural meaning, yet the deeper structural design remains largely intact. We take a critical perspective towards novice programming environments to…

  • Tribal Critical Race Theory

    2021-08-26 · 23 citations

    book-chapter1st authorCorresponding

    TribalCrit begins with the recognition that colonization is endemic to society. The focus on Eurocentric ideology has been used to establish hierarchies wherein the philosophies, worldviews, and languages of Indigenous people(s) have been stripped of value and relegated to the periphery as archaic or irrelevant. “Eurocentric thinkers dismissed Indigenous knowledge in the same way they dismissed any socio-political cultural life they did not understand: they found it to be unsystematic and incapa…

  • The School—Prison Trust

    Forerunners · 2022-06-22 · 13 citations

    bookOpen access

    *The School—Prison Trust* describes interrelated histories, ongoing ideologies, and contemporary expressions of what the authors call the “school—prison trust”: a conquest strategy encompassing the boarding school and juvenile prison models, and deployed in the long war against Native peoples. At its heart, the book is a constellation of stories of Indigenous self-determination in the face of this ongoing conquest. <br/><br/> Following the stories of an incarcerated young man named Jake…

  • Teaching Ethnographic Methods: The State of the Art

    Human Organization · 2022-12-01 · 8 citations

    article

    Ethnography is a core methodology in anthropology and other disciplines. Yet, there is currently no scholarly consensus on how to teach ethnographic methods—or even what methods belong in the ethnographic toolkit. We report on a systematic analysis of syllabi to gauge how ethnographic methods are taught in the United States. We analyze 107 methods syllabi from a nationally elicited sample of university faculty who teach ethnography. Systematic coding shows that ethics, research design, participa…
