Discover how Indigenous communities are shaping and transforming research practices, and why intentional, relationship-based engagement is essential to impactful research. Through a grounded framework and guided reflection, participants gained concrete tools and best practices for working with Indigenous stakeholders in ethical and meaningful ways.
This was a 2-hour, in-person workshop at Concordia’s SHIFT Centre for Social Transformation (LB-145). Participation partially fulfilled the requirements of CREATE SE4AI Professional Development module E.

- Practiced self-reflection
Helpful resources for researchers were introduced, such as the Decolonial Toolbox for podcasts, videos and short texts on Indigenous realities and the Dewemaagannag My Relations Guide on collaboration principles.
