AM are a specialist publisher of digital primary sources. We’re currently looking for authors for a new project, AM Research Skills: Ethnic and Indigenous Studies.

The aim of this new digital educational resource is to provide students and researchers with practical guidance on how to use primary sources in Ethnic studies and Indigenous studies. It will offer students the opportunity to engage with historical and contemporary issues and provide guidance for instructors and librarians to incorporate assignments and classroom activities into teaching. This project will bring together knowledge from academics and community leaders across the globe.

As part of this project, we will include over 100 practice sources for students to work with. To support them in learning how to engage with and analyze these primary sources, we are looking for academics to write source case studies demonstrating how to work with a specific source type.

The sources available and their potential themes are listed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CJ0xTx1Y80I6rJIuMFE1dDlmAA126FkocHb2cq_vFac/edit?usp=sharing

**** Additional Opportunity for NAISA Conference 2024 attendees ****

Exclusive for 2024 we are also looking for video participants to discuss terminology, creation stories and Indigenous ways of knowing.

In the AM Research Skills: Ethnic and Indigenous Studies resource we are striving to represent as many communities as possible and in our video offering would like to bring these together in discussions.

We are looking for any elders or community leaders that will be in Bodø on any of the days between 5-9th June and would be interested in coming together to contribute to one of these videos. This will be a paid opportunity and a great way to build on the connections made at the conference. If you would be interested in participating in one of our videos, please get in touch via the email at the end of this listing.
