We, four teachers in Ojibwe or majority-Ojibwe schools and three teachers in teacher preparation at a small ecologically focused liberal arts college, tell stories to reorient ourselves, centering place in ways accessible to our emerging practice.

Stories are one of the primary ways in which humans communicate and interact with one another--even in an office. Like any organization, the registrar's office relies on stories.

We all have a story; doesn't it make a difference when we know them? As I get older and as I see my own children grow, I've noticed the fast pace we are living. Society has a self-destructive addiction to faster living and the world will tell you to always move forward and there are no limits to how far you can get. Don't pause, don't reflect.…

This qualitative case-study looks at how one preservice teacher uses multimodal counter-storytelling to push back on dominant historical narratives in social studies teaching. It examines how the teacher conceptualizes the use of critical arts and humanities as pedagogical tools to represent historically marginalized voices and disrupt dominant…

Most young people spend time online every day in order to access social networks, where not only do they consume, but also produce content.

Theory holds the capacity to help educators see the world differently, challenge problematic assumptions and practices that cultivate harm, and illuminate pathways toward access, equity, justice, joy, and love. While it is easy to underestimate the role of theory in such pursuits throughout social studies education, this book shows that theory is…

This manuscript utilizes autoethnography as a critical race methodology. Specifically, the authors use generative autoethnography -- a collective spin-story -- to illustrate how their past personal experiences are present in their current educational lives. This generative autoethnography fulfills CRT's tenets of: intercentricity of race and…

Purpose: In recent years the movement of refugees has led to increasing negative media and political discourse about migration in the United Kingdom, particularly as the number of refugees crossing the English Channel has increased.

This study is based on qualitative research, using the reception methodology.…
