    Cree: Language of the Plains / nēhiyawēwin: paskwāwi-pīkiskwēwin
    (University of Regina Press, 2018-09) Okimāsis, Jean L.
    Cree: Language of the Plains is a comprehensive educational resource, offering a broad range of learning materials that is easily accessible to Cree language learners. This collection includes an updated and redesigned Cree language textbook, Cree language audio labs, and a Cree language workbook. With this edition of Cree: Language of the Plains, I am happy to have the chance to correct some typographical errors that were leftover from the first edition, or inadvertently introduced to the second edition. The contents of this edition are not greatly changed from the second edition of 2004 (with two exceptions detailed below), but hopefully the new design, formatting, and corrections will make for a more pleasing presentation of the material, and in turn better facilitate the readers’ attempts to begin to learn the language that I love so much. I am especially pleased that this work will now be made available in the open access format, allowing those who wish to learn and/or reclaim nēhiyawēwin (Plains Cree) for themselves.

    Dissident Knowledge in Higher Education
    (University of Regina Press, 2018) Battiste, Marie; Chomsky, Noam; Denzin, Norman K.; Fine, Michelle; Gill, Rosalind; Grande, Sandy; Hall, Budd L.; Lather, Patti; Leonardo, Zeus; Lincoln, Yvonne S.; McLaren, Peter; McNinch, James; Meyers, Christopher; Smith, Linda Tuhiwai; Spooner, Marc; Tuck, Eve; Weistheimer, Joel
    I submitted this foreword to Marc Spooner and James McNinch on January 20, 2017, or “j20” to some, as President-Elect Trump was sworn in as the forty-fifth president of the United States amid nationwide protests. The world is in a state of crisis and the United States is no exception. If it is a leading nation of the world, it has not always earned that title for the right reasons. That is, many of the country’s citizens question whether the United States is leading the world in the wrong direction. With the election of Donald Trump, the United States finds itself in a maelstrom of debates, deep insecurities, and divisions it was by and large surprised by and for which it was unpre¬pared.

    Free Knowledge
    (University of Regina Press, 2015) Kneen, Brewster; Elliot, Patricia W.; Hepting, Daryl H.; Westheimer, Joel; Mahood, Sally; Schafer, Arthur; Polster, Claire; Diamantopoulos, Mitch; van der Zon, Marian; Barreno, Leonzo; Younging, Gregory; Anderson, Jane; Farley, Joshua; Kubiszewski, Ida; Verzola, Roberto; Bone, Doug; Morrison, Heather
    Broadly speaking, this collection looks at the question of knowledge: how it is generated and shared, and to what purpose. This includes both applied knowledge and what contributor Arthur Schafer refers to as “knowledge for its own sake” (page 46)—for one can hardly exist without the other. The devaluing and withdrawal of public support for the latter, and simultaneous profit-seeking commandeering of the former, leads us toward a future when human knowledge, in all its myriad forms, is dimin¬ished in the public sphere

    Leadership and Influencing Change in Nursing
    (University of Regina Press, 2018-06) Willcox, Amanda; Sutherland Boal, Anne; de Padua, Anthony; Balaski, Beverly; Ens, Brendalynn; Toye, Colleen R.; Wagner, Joan; Boychuk Duchscher, Judy; Racine, Louise; Little, Lisa; MacPhee, Maura; Rabbitskin, Norma; Davies, Shauna; Muller, Stacy; Bazylewski, Susan; Udod, Sonia; Whitebear, Wendy; Harris, Yvonne
    Leadership and Influencing Change in Nursing is designed for a single-semester introduction to the professional nurse’s leadership role as both a care provider and a formal leader. Nursing students will take this course in their third year as they prepare to assume a professional nursing role within the clinical health care environment. An assortment of authors with diverse nursing leadership roles across Saskatchewan and Canada have contributed to this textbook. These diverse voices are focused on providing student nurses with the foundational tools, techniques, and knowledge required to empower them to meet the leadership challenges found within the ever-changing Canadian health care environment. Assembling this information using an online format allows for the material to be updated regularly so as to keep pace with the rapid expansion of knowledge.
