The Future Of Indigenous Food Sovereignty, Ted Hibbeler, Timothy Thielen, Gabriel Bruguier

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

Executive Summary

This white paper examines the historical, ecological, and systemic challenges facing Indigenous food sovereignty, emphasizing the urgent need to center Indigenous Science—a holistic framework combining empirical observation with cultural wisdom passed down through millennia (Cajete and Williams, 2020). Indigenous Science represents the synthesis of two core components: the scientific, derived from thousands of years of observation and experimentation with the natural world, and the cultural, emerging from Creation stories and traditional practices that establish reciprocal relationships with the natural world (Grey and Patel, 2015).

Drawing on federal policies, Tribal-led initiatives, and academic research, we outline actionable pathways to …

Participatory Community Archiving To Preserve And Sustain North Georgia Appalachia’S Language, Literacy Practices, And Histories, Leah Panther Dr., Lindsey Walker, Presley Dyer, Tyler Osborn, Kerri Abernathy

Georgia Library Quarterly

This case study presents Swappin’ Stories, a community-based archiving event that serves as a model for public and participatory archiving. The event aimed to address gaps and misrepresentations of southern Appalachia by gathering the voices, artifacts, and stories of Towns County residents. By centering local narratives, it sought to foster a sense of community identity and offer an authentic portrayal of North Georgia, distinct from the narratives shaped by popular media and political figures. This case highlights the potential of community-driven archives to reclaim and reshape regional histories.

Measuring What Matters: Towards Consequential Research, Lily Kong

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

In a commentary, SMU President Professor Lily Kong reflects on whether and how university researchers seek to make a societal difference, and how such impact can be assessed and recognised. Prof Kong notes that while many faculty members at SMU see the societal value of their work, the global academic system still lacks established frameworks to measure it. Prof Kong highlights SMU’s efforts to develop an approach that aligns with global trends yet is tailored to Singapore’s context, while acknowledging that international recognition still depends on adherence to common standards. She concludes that meaningful change will likely come when funding …

The Day I Unlearned Everything I Thought I Knew About Yoga, Essraa Nawar

Library Articles and Research

"For years, I thought yoga wasn’t meant for someone like me. I believed it belonged to a certain body type, a certain lifestyle, a certain image that didn’t reflect my own. As a visibly Muslim woman, I rarely saw anyone who looked like me in yoga spaces — let alone leading or being celebrated in them. That first class at Shaanti changed everything. It was inclusive. Grounding. Free of mirrors, expectations, and ego. I finally saw that yoga wasn’t about bending into shapes — it was about returning to myself."
