A deep-seated issue persists in postgraduate education-one that threatens the relevance of academia in our diverse and evolving world. The problem at hand is the Western-centric nature of postgraduate education, where research paradigms, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks overwhelmingly reflect a Western worldview. This rigid adherence to Western ideologies has left indigenous communities on the periphery of academic discourse, denying them the opportunity to engage with their knowledge systems and practices. Despite the richness and prevalence of indigenous knowledge, the existing educational structure remains a barrier to their inclusion. This disconnect is not only an academic concern but also a societal one, as it hinders sustainable development and stifles the voices of indigenous scholars and students. Global Perspectives on Decolonizing Postgraduate Education serves as a compelling solution to the problem at hand. It offers a comprehensive roadmap to decolonize postgraduate education, infusing it with indigenous approaches, paradigms, theories, and methods. Through critical examination and practical strategies, this book empowers academics, curriculum designers, and postgraduate students to embark on a transformative journey. Through this book, readers will gain the tools and insights needed to critically assess Western-oriented postgraduate education. It inspires debates, fosters cultural empowerment, and elevates indigenous knowledge systems, making them an integral part of the academic landscape. By embracing the principles laid out in this book, we can bridge the gap between academia and Indigenous communities, creating a more inclusive and relevant educational environment. With this book as a guide, we can revolutionize postgraduate education, ensuring that it not only survives but thrives in the diverse world we inhabit.
