Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In 2021, Indigenous Course Requirement courses (ICR) became mandatory at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus. For students, this meant attending Indigenous Studies 100: Introduction to Decolonization, which presented many challenges–most notably an influx of settler students into the Indigenous Studies program which placed the cultural safety of Indigenous instructors and students at risk. This paper explores the implementation of this ICR and asks critical questions surrounding the role of settler scholars as universities respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and move to educate their students about contemporary Indigenous peoples and issues in Canada.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
