This course provides space for us to delve deeply into some of the key indigenous theoretical frameworks for doing research and methodologies of conducting research with indigenous peoples and/or utilizing indigenous modes of knowledge production in the research process. Our work together will provide you (both MA and PhD students) with the theoretical breadth to formulate a research design, provide hands-on experience with research methods, and allow you space to explore, consider, develop, discuss, reflect, and write about the theories and methods you might draw from in your thesis or dissertation research, or in your post-graduate work.
