The MSVU Black and Indigenous Speaker Series is pleased to present Dr. Eric Oliver’s talk Bridging Knowledge Systems: Scientific and Inuit Knowledge of the Ocean and Sea Ice.
Scientific and Indigenous knowledge systems are distinct, yet complementary, ways of knowing. Bridging knowledge systems, or knowledge co-production, is the process of iteratively bringing together multiple ways of knowing and doing to holistically understand, address, and identify transformative solutions to research problems. This talk will explore this process specifically around understanding the marine environment in coastal Nunatsiavut based on research conducted collaboratively with Inuit and communities in Nunatsiavut.
RSVP by Friday, October 17 and join us by filling out Dr. Eric Oliver’s talk RSVP form.
