0064 - Indigenous Research Series, Module 3 "Indigenous Re-search Methodologies and Meaning Making: Restoring Indigenous Knowledge"
Course Description
This two-day workshop is an overview of Indigenous research methodologies. It offers current examples of methods that Indigenous re-search projects are employing and how Indigenous research projects are restoring Indigenous knowledge, relationships, and healing. This workshop offers participants an opportunity to build their understanding of issues of representation (analysis, interpretation, and presentation of findings). Participants will gain insights into how they can support Indigenous research projects to be rooted in Indigenous worldviews. In this final session of the Indigenous Re-Search Series, participants will develop an increased capacity to conceptualize and potentially generate projects in alignment with Indigenous worldviews.
