Indigenous Student-Led Decolonial Movements in Higher Education: A Case Study of the Indigenous Course Requirement at the University of Winnipeg
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research study seeks to explore the nature of decolonial tactics and strategies, theorized as decolonial movements, that are engaged by Indigenous students in higher education through a case-study of the Indigenous student-led initiatives that led to the mandatory ICR at UWinnipeg in 2016. The ICR at UWinnipeg was specifically chosen for this analysis as UWinnipeg was one of the first universities in Canada to implement an ICR for all undergraduate students as a graduation requirement, and the initiative was Indigenous student-led, as opposed to being driven by the university’s academic leadership. This study relies on one-to-one interviews with students that led these initiatives, and a focus group session with current Indigenous students to engage their narration of the ICR. This study seeks to identify and understand student-led movements that challenge colonial legacies in higher education institutions with attention to the significance of Indigenous histories, places, and knowledge systems.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
