After centuries of colonialism and imperialism, many indigenous knowledge systems have been purposefully disregarded and forgotten, to the point that the vast majority of the public, but specifically researchers, are completely unaware of their existence. By utilizing these systems in conjunction with action learning and action research, it can be possible to garner perspective and influence from all types of people regardless of their social or economic standing in working towards an inclusive and prosperous global society. Enabling Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Action Research and Action Learning encourages researchers the world over to apply Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) using Action Research and/or Action Learning (AR/AL) approaches in their fields of specialization. The AR/AL framework, approaches and methodologies cut across almost all field of studies. Covering topics such as action research and learning, coloniality, and professional development, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, academicians, educators, pre-service teachers, sociologists, and more.
