Indigenous Research Spotlight

The quest toward decolonization isn’t easy or simple. Academia and knowledge-gathering and sharing institutions have had to reconsider many “default” practices and standards, including long-held research methodologies and teaching techniques and focuses. A new podcast series from an Acadia University researcher aims to shed light on the topic and encourage more conversations. By exploring better ways to incorporate trauma-informed education, inclusivity and equity, and critical issues that support decolonization, we can further foster Indigenous self-determination and community-led change. See full episode list and information at the podcast’s website at Acadia University here.

Aunties On Air …and some Uncles too

Lauren Stevens, Saige Purser, and Lisa Sockabasin (Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness) have made a podcast to amplify indigenous voices while building powerful connections through conversations, culture and community. For far too long, indigenous people have been targeted, silenced, and made nearly invisible by the societies that surround us. The values that maintained balance of our shared land and communities are old, valuable, and deeply needed in our world today. During our time together we will explore many topics through storytelling, laughter and sometimes tears. Come along on this journey where together we will feel the power of relationships and experience healing that comes with centering Wabanaki culture. Each month, and often more, we will share an episode with our guests to offer good medicine to all who join. Woliwon (Thank you)!
