KT Connects - Knowledge democracy in action: Opening space for diverse ways of knowing

  • 03 Jun 2022
  • 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Webinar

Knowledge democracy is about intentionally linking values of justice, fairness, and action to the process of creating, sharing, and using knowledge to honour the interrelationship of phenomena. Knowledge democracy in action:
1. acknowledges the importance of the existence of multiple epistemologies, or ways of knowing beyond more colonial and privileged knowledge systems
2. affirms that knowledge is both created and represented in multiple forms, including text, image, numbers, story, music, drama, activity, poetry, ceremony, and meditation
3. acts to decolonize knowledge and deepen democracy towards a just and healthier world
4. ensures open access for the sharing of knowledge, so that everyone who needs knowledge will have access to it.

This webinar will invite participants to examine their role in democratizing and decolonizing knowledge towards justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion- and ultimately better wellness outcomes for all citizens.

Learning Objectives:
• define knowledge democracy and decolonization and recall specific examples to describe its use and application
• summarize key moments in history that have influenced knowledge systems and discuss current factors influencing knowledge democratization
• examine how knowledge democracy and decolonization leads to better health outcomes for all citizens
• explore ways in which knowledge exchange can participate in knowledge democracy in action with the introduction of specific tools and methods.
