Indigenizing Education: Transformative Research, Theories, and
Praxis brings various scholars, educators, and community voices
together in ways that reimagines and recenters learning processes
that embody Indigenous education rooted in critical Indigenous
theories and pedagogies. The contributing scholar-educators speak
to the resilience and strength embedded in Indigenous knowledges
and highlight the intersection between research, theories, and
praxis in Indigenous education. Each of the contributors share ways
they engaged in transformative praxis by activating a critical
Indigenous consciousness with diverse Indigenous youth, educators,
families, and community members. The authors provide pathways to
reconceptualize and sustain goals to activate agency, social
change, and advocacy with and for Indigenous peoples as they enact
sovereignty, selfeducation, and Native nation-building. The
chapters are organized across four sections, entitled Indigenizing
Curriculum and Pedagogy, Revitalizing and Sustaining Indigenous
Languages, Engaging Families and Communities in Indigenous
Education, and Indigenizing Teaching and Teacher Education. Across
the chapters, you will observe dialogues between the
scholar-educators as they enacted various theories, shared stories,
indigenized various curriculum and teaching practices, and
reflected on the process of engaging in critical dialogues that
generates a (re)new(ed) spirit of hope and commitment to
intellectual and spiritual sovereignty. The book makes significant
contributions to the fields of critical Indigenous studies,
critical and culturally sustaining pedagogy, and decolonization.

Higher education has changed significantly over time. In
particular, traditional face-to-face degrees are being revamped in
a bid to ensure they stay relevant in the 21st century and are now
offered online. The transition for many universities to online
learning has been painful-only exacerbated by the COVID-19
pandemic, forcing many in-person students to join their virtual
peers and professors to learn new technologies and techniques to
educate. Moreover, work has also changed with little doubt as to
the impact of digital communication, remote work, and societal
change on the nature of work itself. There are arguments to be made
for organizations to become more agile, flexible, entrepreneurial,
and creative. As such, work and education are both traversing a
path of immense changes, adapting to global trends and consumer
preferences. The Handbook of Research on Future of Work and
