1	Teacher Perceptions of Indigenous Representations in History: A Phenomenological Study Tipton, Joshua C., Scott, Pamela H., Flora, William F. 01 January 2017 (has links) This phenomenological study addressed teacher perceptions of indigenous representations in United States history within a school district in East Tennessee. Teacher perceptions of indigenous representations in history were defined as teacher beliefs towards the inclusion and representation of indigenous peoples in United States history. Individual and focus group interviews were conducted from a purposeful sample of United States history teachers from multiple high schools in the school district. The analysis of data revealed three themes: (a) systemic challenges to multiculturalism within state course standards and textbooks, (b) teachers’ perceived self-efficacy in teaching their students using indigenous perspectives, (c) and the perpetuation of indigenous stereotypes. Furthermore, analysis revealed that U.S. history courses in the district perpetuate both the notion of indigenous peoples as historical bystanders and the racial stereotypes of Native Americans. indigenous representations Higher Education

3	The Others: Media representations of Indigenous Peoples in the coverage of environmental and political matters : A Critical Discourse-Analysis of the media coverage regarding the Mayan Train environmental protests and concerns in Mexico / The Others: Media representations of Indigenous Peoples in the coverage of environmental and political matters : A Critical Discourse-Analysis of the media coverage regarding the Mayan Train environmental protests and concerns in Mexico Levet, Viviana January 2022 (has links) In the coverage of the Mayan Train in the Southeast of Mexico, national newspapers have either ignored Indigenous peoples as the main stakeholders affected by this project or portrayed them as victims and enemies of modernization. The purpose of this study is to analyse how the Mexican newspapers, La Jornada & Reforma, have omitted or ‘othered’ Indigenous communities in their coverage of the Mayan Train between March and June 2022. Fifteen articles from each newspaper were chosen to be analysed to show how most of them collectivize Indigenous peoples into a minority that is represented as ignorant and in need. The language used to describe Mayan pueblos in these articles reduces Indigeneity to ideas related to the past, poverty and violence, among other concepts which evidence an ideological disconnection between environmental issues and Indigenous concerns. These media omissions and language choices do not only contribute to the othering of the Mayan identity and individuality which are already threatened by this project, but to a racist and discriminatory treat against them. This thesis aims to bring up questions about the representation of Indigenous peoples in national news media articles, as well as to think about how the rebuilding of these could help influence public mindset to incorporate Indigenous communities in environmental concerns in Mexico. indigenous indigenous peoples indigenous representations Mexico media media outlets train mayan mayan train environment environmental discourse media discourse sustainability social sustainability indigeneity racism discrimination Media Studies Medievetenskap Communication Studies Kommunikationsvetenskap
