Which River Metaphor Is Yours: Culturally Responsive and Socially Responsible Methodologies

Mon, April 16, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Sheraton Wall Centre, Floor: Third Level, South Blue Whale

Session Submission Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This symposium offers an ontology that is not framed from western traditions. Using reflexivity, criticality, and other epistemological links, the authors become methodological negotiators who invent, craft, personalize and navigate their methodology and methods specific to the context and participants with whom they are working. They show how they unlearn mainstream or western methods to challenge unexamined assumptions in research methods. We hope that this research can contribute a more respectful and humble way of working with all peoples.
