Bridging Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Academia: When to Build, When to Burn

March 12 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Free

 

  The Indigenous Science Colloquium invites Indigenous students, faculty, staff, and community members to a session of the Indigenous Science Colloquium Series: A Conversation with Indigenous Scholars featuring Dr. Salena Hill, a member of the Apsáalooke (Crow) and Amaskapi Pikuni (Blackfeet) Tribal Nations and Assistant Professor in the Doctoral Program of Leadership Studies, Gonzaga University. Rooted in Indigenous philosophies, her work emphasizes integrating Indigenous worldviews into both her teaching and research. Dr. Hill will join Dr. Shandin Pete, Assistant Professor of Teaching, Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, UBC, and Salisha Old Bull, Indigenous Academic Advisor, Faculty of Science, for an engaging discussion on the complexities of integrating Indigenous knowledge into academic spaces.
  • Can we Indigenize the syllabus—without colonizing the content?
  • When bridging Indigenous and academic knowledge, which bridges need to be burned?
  • The term “reciprocity” is often used in Indigenous research and teaching—how can we add greater resolution to it?
  • Are Indigenous knowledges really that different from other forms of knowledge?
  • Can non-Indigenous people authentically teach Indigenous content?

– Catered reception 5:30 PM
