Decolonizing English Studies in India: Teaching of Native American Literatures in South Indian Universities
Contemporary higher education emphasizes glocal frameworks that accommodate both global and regional priorities in development. Decolonization of education becomes crucial in this context, where colonization led to the marginalization of Indigenous cultures, including Native American cultural traditions and knowledge systems. Multicultural inclusivity in higher education observes marginalized epistemic systems and gives them a place in the curriculum. By incorporating Native American texts in the English studies university syllabi in India, decolonization is brought into purview. This chapter deals with how the South Indian universities introduce Native American texts. The authors argue that multiculturalism in this context contributes to decolonial pedagogy, and the existing epistemic gap due to colonial oppression is problematized by inspecting the epistemic traditions of former colonies outside India. Content analysis of syllabi in the Central and state universities is the qualitative method used. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved. -

Emerging Trends in Blue Economy: A Roadmap Through the Lens of Sustainable Development
On Earth, the oceans make up 71% of the land area. Approximately 40% of the worlds population lives in coastal regions with 3 billion people depending on it for livelihood. 80% of the global trade is (en)routed via oceans. A long-term unbalanced usage of marine routes leads to unsettling issues such as ocean-acidification, marine pollution and habitat destruction. This causes disruption towards the attainment of sustainability. To safeguard the oceans and marine life, Blue Economy (BE)" was introduced by the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in 2012. The SDG-14 (life below water) contributes to focusing attention on BE. Till date there is no universally accepted policy towards implementation of BE. However several regions like Africa, Brazil, China, EU and India formulated guidelines towards the implementation of BE. With this perspective, the chapter analyzes the emerging trends of BE as a way forward towards sustainable development. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved. -
