Welcome to our new website, where you can find all things relating to NCIS.
NCIS offers support, research, and advocacy for Indigenous scholars. We advance three objectives: mentorship toward career advancement, research on the experiences of Indigenous faculty, and illuminating Indigenous scholarly excellence.
Emerging and mid-career faculty are invited to engage in the co-development of an Indigenous faculty development model designed to promote relationality — culturally grounded, decolonizing, and oriented toward Indigenous futurities.
We hope to inform systemic change in ways that uplift Indigenous scholars at all career stages, strengthening academic identity formation through a form of kinship mentorship that promotes trust, reciprocity, and shared learning.
