Indigenous Methodologies is a groundbreaking text. Since its
original publication in 2009, it has become the most trusted guide
used in the study of Indigenous methodologies and has been adopted
in university courses around the world. It provides a conceptual
framework for implementing Indigenous methodologies and serves as a
useful entry point for those wishing to learn more broadly about
Indigenous research. The second edition incorporates new literature
along with substantial updates, including a thorough discussion of
Indigenous theory and analysis, new chapters on community
partnership and capacity building, an added focus on oracy and
other forms of knowledge dissemination, and a renewed call to
decolonize the academy. The second edition also includes discussion
questions to enhance classroom interaction with the text. In a
field that continues to grow and evolve, and as universities and
researchers strive to learn and apply Indigenous-informed research,
this important new edition introduces readers to the principles and
practices of Indigenous methodologies.
Student Resiliency: The Subtle Art of Wellness is a workbook
designed to help college students not only adjust to college life
but also to thrive and be more resilient through employing healthy
choices and fostering critical wellness habits. The first chapter
defines the terms wellness and resiliency, outlining benefits of
different resiliency types including intellectual, social,
emotional, environmental, academic, spiritual, and physical.
Subsequent chapters focus on cognitive resilience and ways in which
our thinking can affect our emotions, building emotional
resilience, the importance of social support, and the role of
decision-making in career wellness and resilience. Students are
provided sound guidance in cultivating spiritual resilience,
shaping their personal environments, and safeguarding and building
their physical wellness. Throughout the book, chapter summaries,
reflection questions, and insights support the learning experience
and inspire critical thought. Written to help students achieve a
happier and healthier way of navigating the stresses and strains of
college life and beyond, Student Resiliency is an exemplary
resource for student success and first-year orientation courses and
programs.
