The Ecotone – Weaving Knowledge(s): Addressing Climate Change through Epistemic Crafting with Manuhuia Barcham, PhD
Please join us for an ecotone session with Dr. Manuhuia Barcham, Associate Professor of the Emily Carr University of Art and Design. The last half century has seen a dramatic shift occur in Western academia and practice around the recognition of Indigenous Knowledge (IK). We see examples of this shift in the adoption of IK in health management programs or the granting of legal personhood to mountains and rivers. However multiple critiques have emerged around this shift seeing it as often still being situated within specific socio-technical power structures which continue to be extractive in practice.

Indigenising research: Moanaroa a philosophy for practice with Dr. Lefaoali’i Dion Enari
The Mellon AAPI EHEJ presents: Growing interest in Pacific issues has meant a surge in Pacific research across the globe. Sadly, some research on Pacific people has been done without Pacific knowledge, wisdom and culture. As Pacific researchers, we understand the importance of outputs that interweave our ancestral and cultural wisdom, whilst centering and privileging our people’s narratives.
