This course provides an introduction to Indigenous research methods within an interdisciplinary context. It highlights relational, land-based, and interculturally informed approaches to knowledge creation, translation, and mobilization. It examines how research is shaped by positionality, power, history, and place.
Drawing on emerging work in Indigenous knowledge and research methodologies, the course situates research as an ongoing, relational process grounded in community accountability, application, and impact. Students engage with ethical and creative application of research through multimodal and practice-based methods, including storytelling, visual and media-based research, and community-engaged scholarship, while considering how research can be meaningfully applied and shared across diverse contexts.
