Indigenous Technologies: Lessons From the Field

Fri, April 4, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Marriott, Floor: Fourth Level, 405

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Much of the research to date concerning technology and Indigenous peoples’ has focused on issues of access to and dissemination of technologies, issues of sovereignty and intellectual property rights in relation to digital information, and underrepresentation in technologically related fields. While this work is important, research needs to reach beyond discourses of access, dissemination, and standard achievement towards expansive views of technologies and learning to enable deeper consideration of the ways in which culture and socio-historical context mediates relationships with knowledge, the roles of technology in knowledge construction, and the use of technologies in learning.
