Dear Department Members,
I am sad to announce the death of Oscar Angayuqaq Kawagley, Sunday, April 24, in Fairbanks, Alaska. Oscar received his PhD from the old Department of Social and Education Studies (SEDS) in the early 1990s. He was supervised first by Dr. Vincent D’Oyley and then to completion by Dr. Jean Barman. Oscar went on to become an influential teacher and a pioneer in the field of Indigenous Knowledge.
You can now follow Ed Studies news and colleagues with a new tool: the EDST Blog.
The blog was inaugurated today with a message from department head Donald Fisher. He welcomes you to read the blog and contribute interesting news from your research and experiences. We also invite faculty and students to offer reflections on education research/news from around the world.
