About the Event:
The title of this panel discussion will be Two-Eyed Seeing: Bringing Indigenous and Western Technologies and Ways of Knowing Together. The term two-eyed seeing was coined in English by Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall to describe the Mi’kmaq concept Etuaptmumk, which refers to the benefits of bringing more than one perspective into play. Two-eyed seeing usually refers to bringing together Indigenous and Western/mainstream knowledges, worldviews, ways of knowing, technologies, sciences, ecologies, learning methods, etc., especially in research methodologies.This panel of researchers and their community partners will highlight the ways that researchers have worked in partnership with Indigenous communities, individuals and/or organizations to bring together multiple perspectives to make sure that the research they do is relevant to the communities they are working with, that it is reciprocally beneficial for community and research team, and that it has a positive impact.
