Reihe: Indigenous and Decolonizing Studies in Education

This book offers new perspectives from Indigenous leaders in academic affairs, student affairs, and central administration to improve colleges and universities in service to Indigenous students and professionals. Providing rich context on the realities of Indigenous leadership in today’s higher education landscape, and highlighting organizations that center Indigenous knowledges and approaches, the volume brings together prominent voices of Indigenous Peoples on administration and governance, Indigenous leadership academic programs, and Indigenous student leadership and activism. The book discusses and illustrates ways that leadership norms, values, assumptions, and behaviors can often originate from cultural identities, and how these assumptions can affect how colleges and universities evolve to serve Indigenous Peoples. The perspectives in this book contribute valuable insights for leadership development and reflection among novice, experienced, and emerging leaders in higher education, and offers key recommendations for transforming higher education. This volume will be important reading for those studying or researching Education Leadership, Indigenous Studies, Higher Education, Foundations of Education, and Multicultural Education, and will serve as a beneficial resource to Indigenous leaders and educational leaders.
