31.021 - Humanizing Research Praxis Toward Indigenous Justice: A Fireside Chat

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Building on Linda Tuhiwai Smith’s 2012 AERA Opening Plenary speech, “The Knowing Circle of Indigenous Education: It Is Not Enough Just to Know” and seminal book, Decolonizing Methodologies and engaging the ideals of Humanizing Research outlined by Django Paris and Maisha T. Winn in their recent co-edited book, Humanizing Research: Decolonizing Qualitative Inquiry with Youth and Their Communities (2014), this fireside chat continues the conversation about the complex and dynamic intersections of culture, language, and heritage in developing a research praxis. These eminent scholars along with emerging scholars will speak to ways that scholars, educators, and institutions can undertake a critical-theory view and implement policies and strategies to include the principles of Indigenous-human justice and move us from knowing to action.
