KT Connects: Understanding Indigenous Knowledge: An insider’s theory

  • 24 Feb 2023
  • 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Webinar

Perspectives on what counts as “knowledge” can be informed by worldviews that differ in important traditional and culturally specific ways. The questions that are asked in the pursuit of knowledge, and the process used to obtain answers, are informed by cultural values and processes and have implications for the intent and purpose of the knowledge acquired. How do our worldviews influence the way we understand data and knowledge? How does data, knowledge and understanding operate in the subconscious? How much of what we perceive to be data or knowledge is inaccessible to those with differing worldviews? This webinar will focus on these questions through the exploration of an Indigenous characterization of knowledge, knowledge production and the questions that remain when Indigenous consciousness intersects with the world.

After this webinar, participants can:
o Begin to understand the pathways data can take to become knowledge.
o Understand how context and knowledge production interact.
o Explore assumptions and complexities of Indigenous knowledge.

Speaker:
Dr. Shandin Pete, assistant professor of teaching, department of earth, ocean and atmospheric science, University of British Columbia
