Toward a Culturally Disruptive Framework in Partnership-Based Research and Design

• In Event: Ethics and Inclusion Issues in Learning Environment Design-B

Short Description

To contribute understanding of how to cultivate and sustain equitable community partnerships, we share our culturally-situated research approach that supports both Western and Indigenous knowledge systems. As a team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, designers, and educators, we propose a culturally disruptive framework, which demands identification and disruption of tensions in underlying knowledge systems, values, and beliefs and leads to self-discoveries and innovation in our research, design, and teaching processes and practices.
