| | AlterNative Fourth Issue OUT NOW | | 7 May 2008: Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, New Zealand: Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga celebrates the release of the fourth issue of their academic journal AlterNative: An International Journal of Indigenous Scholarship.
This themed issue examines the concept of 'research excellence'. The notion of research excellence is of critical importance to the global advancement of indigenous peoples – it informs the direction and measurement of research outputs, the standards against which we measure our work in our communities and the way teaching is tailored in our institutions. In this issue, we ask indigenous scholars from around the world to interrogate the concept of research excellence – who defines it, how it is defined, and how does it serve the needs of indigenous communities?
BR>Clive Aspin joins guest editors Marilyn Brewin, Mere Kēpa and Joanna Kidman to offer a selection of the finest scholarship examining research excellence from indigenous scholars around the globe. The result is a collection that ranges from Aotearoa to Botswana, from science to ethnomathematics, from the community to the academy demonstrating the depth and breadth of indigenous scholarship available today. In raising questions of importance to indigenous scholars, AlterNative provides a forum through which indigenous communities and scholars work to determine the future direction of their research.
