Topic: Indigenous Research Methods by Dr. Shawn Wilson

Speaker: Dr Shawn Wilson is from the Opaskwayak Cree Nation but currently lives on Bundjalung land on the east coast of Australia. He is an Associate Professor of Indigenous Studies in the Department of Community, Culture and Global Studies at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan in Canada, as well as adjunct faculty at Gnibi College of Indigenous Australian Peoples at Southern Cross University in Australia.

Through working with Indigenous people internationally, Shawn has applied Indigenist philosophy within the contexts of Indigenous education, health and counselor education. In addition to further articulating Indigenous philosophies and research paradigms, his research focuses on the inter-related concepts of identity, health and healing, culture and wellbeing. His 2008 book, Research is Ceremony: Indigenous Research Methods is often cited for bridging understanding between traditional Indigenous knowledges and western academia. He is on the editorial boards of several journals and the board of directors for the Tapestry Institute, and co-editor of Research and Reconciliation: Unsettling ways of knowing through Indigenous relationships (2019).
