We’re doing research differently, starting with our labs. The IndigeLab Network (IN) currently includes 19 Indigenous women and gender minority researchers who lead unique research collectives that make room for Indigenous ways of knowing, doing, and being in the academy.
Our goal is to shed light on the usually black-boxed and behind-the-scenes knowledges and methods of bringing Indigenous methodologies and theories of change into the social worlds of labs, studios, portfolios, centres, and other collective spaces within colonial institutions like universities. The anticipated impacts of IN activities include: insights into the ways Indigenous methodologies can impact internal research cultures and collectives; collaborative training of over 200 Indigenous and allied HQP via lab exchanges; influence of international professionalization organizations through research-based recommendations; and an international network of Indigenous women and gender minority PIs, students, and research collectives.
