Talking About Indigenous Studies: Perspectives from Africa and the Americas

Native American and Indigenous Studies is a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary field with arguably two elements at its core: the use of place-based methodologies and a commitment to decolonizing scholarship that serves Indigenous communities. What do these elements mean in different world regions and academic disciplines? Do scholars and communities in Africa, Latin America, and North America understand “place” in the same way? How are Indigenous research paradigms applied across these different contexts?
