EN - Canada from West to East - Respectful Community Research (Atlantic)│Shelley Price & Kim Chevrier

Welcome to the September edition of Philab's PodcastThis month we are travelling to the maritimes to talk about respectful community-based research.

As the scientific world is often seen interacting with communities to observe and analyzeevents or phenomena,it is important to understand and be aware of the challenges and impacts the research process has on communities themselves.

Too often those who were the subjects of observation have been put in situations where they don't see any benefits from participating in the scientific processMore than ever, it is important to find a way to create a win-win dynamic so that communities and researchers can both prosper from the research process.

To dig a little deeper into this process,I will be talking with Shelley Price and Kim Chevrier who are both well aware of this challenge.

Shelley is an Assistant Professor at St. Francis Xavier University in the Department of Management.

Shelley’s passion for education, knowledge acquisition and respect for cultural, traditional and spiritual connection to the land is central in her research.

As an Inuk woman from Labrador, she was raised to respect the teachings that her Elders shared with her through stories and through being on the land.

She is also a research member of PhiLab’s Atlantic hub and Indigenous Research Cluster.

Kim on the other hand is a member of Kebaowek First Nation, located in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region.

Since 1993, Kim has worked for various Indigenous organizations, including the Odawa Native Friendship Center,Lethbridge Native Employment centre as well as the institute for Advancement of Aboriginal Women.

They will both take part in this conversation to help us to see a different way of conducting researchBy showcasing a method called Collective storytellingThank you and I hope you will enjoy this conversationHébergé par Ausha.
