Help please: call for Indigenous perspectives on collective punishment in BC schools.

We are seeking contributions from Indigenous scholars, knowledge-keepers and community leaders to speak to the history, lineage and lived impact of collective punishment in British Columbia’s public schools. Your insights will deepen understanding of how these practices have affected Indigenous children and communities and guide our advocacy for restorative, culturally grounded alternatives.

What we’re looking for

  • An article reflecting your community’s perspectives, traditions and experiences related to collective discipline in colonial and contemporary schooling contexts
  • Willingness to consult with our editorial team on framing, citation of sources and respectful representation of Indigenous knowledge

What we’re offering

  • A modest honourarium paid on publication
  • Full attribution or anonymous credit, according to your preference
  • The opportunity to link to your projects, publications or organisations

We recognise that meaningful collaboration requires care, reciprocity and respect for Indigenous sovereignty over knowledge. We are committed to honouring your time, expertise and cultural protocols throughout this process.

Please contact us for more information.
