    Indigenous perspectives on open science and the decolonization of knowledge
    (UNESCO Chair, 2022-05-11) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, Rajesh
    This policy brief on Indigenous Perspectives on Open Science and the Decolonization of Knowledge is a contribution to WHEC 22 theme three on Inclusion on Higher Education. It is the product of The World Virtual Indigenous Circle on Open Science and the Decolonization of Knowledge which took place on November 12, 2020. It was organized by the UNESCO Chair in Community-Based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education, co-hosted by the Canadian Commission for UNESCO and the World Indigenous Nations Higher Education Consortium, and the format was designed by Lorna Wanósts'a7 Williams. The Circle featured nearly 20 Indigenous speakers and attracted some 300 registrants from around the world. Its purpose was to inform UNESCO's drafting of a recommendation on open science and, in turn, to ensure Indigenous knowledge is incorporated respectfully and with integrity to help reshape how higher education institutions recognize and use it. The aim of this brief is to share our recommendations on the next of many steps toward ensuring that Indigenous knowledge is better recognized worldwide, so it can guide individuals and institutions in higher education, in research, and in protecting the Earth.

    Curriculum, higher education, and the public good
    (2009) Hall, Budd L; Bhatt, Nandita; Lepore, Walter
    Curriculum change in higher education is an extremely complex process. Influences on the content of what is taught in higher education include new knowledge coming from the various academic disciplines, from the regulatory bodies of many of the professions, from national calls for action, from global challenges, from social movements of the day. This chapter argues that in the search for excellence, engagement and social responsibility that there is no contradiction between responding to local calls for action and global matters. Illustrations of curriculum change which attend to both the local and the global include classroom changes, single university changes, system-wide changes in Canada, Asia, Latin America and New Zealand. We call for more attention to community engaged learning and the creation of central offices for community university engagement.
