We are honoured to submit a Call for Contributions for a special issue of The Journal of Contemporary Issues in Education (JCIE) in honour, memory and celebration of the life and work of UBC Professor Michael Marker. Professor Marker was an Indigenous scholar, storyteller, elder, musician, gentle activist, and long-term relation of the Lummi Nation.

This special issue is sponsored by a collective composed of Professor Marker’s colleagues in the Department of Educational Studies at UBC: Drs. Hartej Gill, Deirdre Kelly, André Elias Mazawi, Bathseba Opini, Amy Parent, Michelle Stack, and Pierre Walter.

Contributions to the special issue could be in the form of conventional research papers, creative works or decolonizing works using photographs, features of the visual and performative arts, poetry, stories or songs (MP3), as long as these contributions engage some of the broad themes engaged by Professor Marker in his life and work.
