Indigenous and Intercultural Research: Issues, Ethics, and Methods
Indigenous and Intercultural Research on SAGE MethodSpace
In February of 2020 SAGE Methodspace focused on Indigenous and Intercultural research. We were honored to welcome two distinguished panelists to the webinar you can view below: Dr. Bagele Chilisa and Dr. Deborah McGregor.
Dr. Bagele Chilisa is the author of Indigenous Research Methodologies and a University of Botswana Research and Evaluation Specialist. She helped us understand issues and methods for researchers to consider when studying formerly colonized societies, Indigenous people, or historically oppressed communities.
Dr. Deborah McGregor is the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Environmental Justice at York University in Toronto. She helped us understand Indigenous knowledge and environmental justice, Indigenous research approaches and intercultural research teams. She collaborated on the UK-based Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Research Partnership project.
