Part 1: What do scientists need to know before and when working in Indigenous communities?
Continuing our Decolonizing Sustainability Science series, join us for a unique two-part Forum which will explore insights from both community collaborators and Indigenous researchers.
Part 1 asks the question: What do scientists need to know before and when working in and with Indigenous communities? This will spotlight reflections from the perspective of those with direct experience of living or working with Indigenous communities. Speakers will discuss what it means to ethically engage with Indigenous knowledge holders and how they navigate their responsibility to develop reciprocal relationships with these communities in ways that do not perpetuate extractive, colonial frameworks.

The Pathways Forum is a bi-monthly online event where researchers from diverse disciplines who engage, or want to engage, with societal actors in processes of adaptive learning to design, implement, and evaluate pathways to sustainability get a chance to reflect on concepts and theories of change, and discuss the practical implications of sustainability science and transdisciplinarity for research practices. Through this webinar series, the Pathways Initiative aims to develop and support agenda-setting, synthesis and capacity building around pathways for sustainability.
