Indigenous Research Methods Applications

3 credits

This course critically reviews the research methodologies that are in keeping with the values and constructs of Indigenous Peoples' worldview(s) and knowledge(s). This course emphasizes the link between the development of a research question and a variety of methodological approaches that situate the researcher within a particular context of the Indigenous research site and the importance of incorporating reciprocity and subjectivity throughout the research experiences. Students are required to apply this understanding in the preparation of a draft research proposal that adheres to the core principles of Indigenous worldview(s). ***Prerequisite: INHS 300.***
