Abstract:
In South Africa, the movement towards a decolonised curriculum is gaining traction. In contrast to the Western-centric emphasis of school curricula, indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) highlight and utilise indigenous materials and knowledge processes. Several research works have emphasised the importance of IKS and the necessity of incorporating them into South African educational practices in an effective manner. This study aims to assess the pedagogical competency of instructors in integrating IKS into the teaching of economics. The pedagogical competency of economics teachers regarding the

This research explores how indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) contribute to sustainable management practices in rural economies. As modern development models face increasing scrutiny for environmental degradation and social inequality, rural communities are turning to time-tested indigenous methods rooted in local wisdom, cultural values, and ecological balance. The study highlights how IKS provides an effective framework for resource conservation, agricultural resilience, water management, and community governance.

Forest conservation is important in climate change mitigation. The Indigenous Knowledge (IK) or Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) has recently been recognised in forest conservation for climate change mitigation. The potential use of IKS in climate change management in Sub-Saharan Africa including Kenya is unknown. Numerous analytical postulations detailing how to integrate IKS in climate change management have been formulated. However, this information is fragmented and mostly lost in sociology literature.

Abstract:
This paper discusses a program of work undertaken by RMIT University, Australia, to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in curriculum in both its Australian and off-shore campuses. It takes a first step in the consideration of the complexities that arise when First Peoples’ knowledge systems and cultural practices are exported—and frequently collide—with the idea of the global. It does this through a consideration of ‘place’, place being so vital to Indigenous cultures. While the paper is case specific, its discussion of how to frame the significance of place in the contex

Abstract:
This research paper aims at exploring how the ancient Indian wisdom can be used in managing organizations in the contemporary world. The study is based on the analysis of the traditional texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Arthashastra and Bhagavad Gita to determine the management principles that can still be applied in the current world. This paper presents a thorough analysis of the historical evolution, core philosophical components and practical applications of IKS in order to show that IKS offers valuable leadership, organizational behavior and strategic management frameworks.

Abstract:
It is increasingly overwhelming that our societies are living in disintegrating environments and need for more sustainable design approaches and wiser ways of living and being. Anthropogenic design impact in corporate spheres is causing socio-ecological destruction that threatens the underpinnings of civilisation and bio-diverse nature. Hence, economies and life worlds are facing the limitations of narratives of progress and creeds of growth with their designs and actions that are inapposite to the flourishing of life on our planet.

Abstract:
Growing crops in the mountainous rural areas of Guatemala presents unique challenges, and farmers there rely on a mix of Indigenous practice and new experimental treatments of bio-inputs, infused with micro-organisms. Nathan Einbinder writes about the farmers he met in Guatemala who are innovating collaboratively within their communities to instil resilience and sustainability on their farms. Nathan Einbinder is a lecturer and researcher specializing in agroecology and food systems. Since 2009, he has worked with Indigenous farmers and organizations in the Maya-Achí territory of Guatemala, on

Abstract:
Food is a fundamental aspect of our everyday life, with deep connections to sustainability and social justice. Unfortunately, our current conventional industrial food systems form a core part of the ecological crisis. To engage with these systems, we require a radical transformation of our relationship with food, acknowledging that we as humans are also a part of the natural environment. Recognising the interdependence of agrobiodiversity, soil health and indigenous knowledge about nutrition and well-being requires the collective participation of diverse socio-economic groups at the local leve

Abstract:
This Groundwork investigates the sustainable practices and conservation efforts of forest-dwelling communities in the Cherangani and Kakamega forests of Kenya, emphasizing the complex and often conflicting dynamics that shape their relationship with the environment. These communities, deeply rooted in traditional ecological knowledge, are under growing pressure to balance their cultural heritage with modern conservation strategies imposed by external stakeholders. Tensions arise as they attempt to sustain their livelihoods—relying on forest resources for food, medicine, and income—while facing

Abstract:
Estimates of carbon sequestration for timber trees is well documented, while fruit trees are understudied. The few existing estimates indicate that fruit trees and fertiliser management on them, can substantially sequester carbon in coffee monocultures, albeit unlikely to the same extent as timber trees. A carbon investor may thus favour timber. In this light, as programs for planting billions and trillion trees are launched “to save the climate”, a wide range of gender, social, justice and environmental concerns are voiced.

Abstract:
Previous research has explored the importance of effective course advising to academic success. Course advising that is student-focused and takes a “whole-of-student” approach has been found to be especially important for students that have historically been minoritised in tertiary education. This includes students who are Indigenous, first-in-family, or from low socio-economic backgrounds. However, no research, to our knowledge, has investigated how Pacific students and staff envision course advising. Given Pacific students are among the fastest growing academic cohort in New Zealand and Aust

Abstract:
This paper explores Indigenous knowledge suppression as a form of epistemic violence and injustice. Through examination of the residential schooling system, I demonstrate how forced assimilation practices, such as language suppression and erasure, severed important epistemic ties for Indigenous children. Drawing on Gayatri Spivak’s account of epistemic violence and Miranda Fricker’s literature on epistemic injustice, I argue that colonial boarding schools incited epistemic violence which gave rise to testimonial and hermeneutical injustices. Furthermore, I critically analyze modern forms of re
