THEME ISSUE: Indigenous Epistemologies and Education
Self-determination, Anthropology, and Human Rights

In this special issue, AEQ will focus on educational issues impacting
members of the world¹s 300 million Indigenous peoples, particularly as

education relates to Indigenous epistemologies, self-determination,
and human rights. We seek critical ethnographic analyses of new
paradigms in Indigenous education that confront the challenges of
educational self-determination and human rights. Papers may focus on
community-based education, language education, or other contemporary
expressions of these issues at the pre-K­college level.
Recognizing that anthropology and anthropologists have historically
been complicit in colonizing projects that have undermined Indigenous
epistemologies and education rights, what might the present and future
bring? What are the unique contributions of educational anthropology
to Indigenous self-determination? What new territories--physical,
social, political, linguistic, and cultural--are being charted to
promote Indigenous education and human rights?

Papers should be theoretical as well as empirical, and should engage
education practice and policy. We encourage article-length manuscripts
of no more than 35 pages, as well as briefer, 10-15 page manuscripts
suitable for Reflections on the Field and Reflections from the Field.
All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.
Manuscripts must be received by March 15, 2004 for a theme issue
planned for spring 2005. Contributors should adhere closely to the
"Information for Authors" at the back of the most recent AEQ.
