Decolonizing Research: A Conversation with Indigenous Scholars

3550 Trousdale Parkway,Los Angeles CA 90089

02 February, 2022

Description

Join us for a crucial discussion addressing the fraught relationship between indigenous scholars and the institutions that often erase them. When we conduct research, we’re searching for answers that matter. Who produces the research we rely on? Who determines what is important to research, what topics deserve to be researched, and who researches it? This crucial roundtable discussion will address the fraught relationship between indigenous knowledge and scholars and the academic and cultural institutions that have often erased, co-opted, and excluded them. The panel of leading indigenous scholars will describe how research shapes Native peoples’ paths through academia and address their complicated history with systems of information and education.
