LFS Decolonial Lunch + Learn Session
RISE Workshop – Indigenous Research Methods, Protocols, and Processes
Date: Friday, November 18, 2022
Time:10am-12pm
Location: UBC Farm Yurt
In order to move beyond the assumed universality and superiority of Western science within the university structure, and to create supportive systems that foster collaborative and holisitic Indigenous science, Drs. Andrea Reid, Danielle Ignace, Shandin Pete, and Tabitha Robin Martens, have found it critical to build bridges between Indigenous science scholars across historically and contemporarily siloed departments and faculties within our institution. Through the formation of the “Resurgent Indigenous Scholars for the Environment” (RISE) Collective within the first year of our respective faculty appointments at UBC, we have created our own space for providing mutual support, co-designing research and teaching projects, and being in collective service to Indigenous Peoples within and beyond the university campus. Through a series of dialogue sessions rotating across each of our departments, we have been in ongoing conversation about the tensions that arise as we build purposeful Indigenous science space within a Western science-dominated frame.
For the second talk in our series, we will be be discussing Indigenous research methods, protocols, and processes, and how they are used in our own research projects.
