This Winter and Spring 2021, CBR Canada is linking webinars with live discussions on the theme Decolonizing Community-Based Research. A week following each webinar, CBR Canada invites CBR Canada members to participate in a live discussion and explore how to integrate learnings from the webinar.

This live discussion is the first in the series and is titled Uplifting Indigenous Community Wisdom. On January 28th at 12 noon ET, webinar presenters, Jeska Slater and Krystal Dumais, will ask questions for participants to discuss in small groups. The event will end with a big group discussion and everything will be recorded live in a Google doc. We will reflect, problem solve and support each other in a safe discussion space.

The Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants.

We encourage you to join Jeska and Krystal’s webinar “Uplifting Indigenous Community Wisdom - Skookum Lab's Journey in Indigenous Social Innovation” on January 21st at 12 noon ET live or watch the webinar recording, which we will be shared before the live discussion.

We look forward to seeing you there!

This series begins with a recognition that privilege exists at an intersection of factors such as gender, sexual orientation, income, lack of Indigenous sovereignty, and the social construction of race. Recognizing privilege is not enough, the next step is to listen and learn from the expertise and lived experience of BIPOC communities. We recognize that everyone will be coming to this discussion at their own stage in the journey of understanding the topic. We ask participants to respect this within a safe and non-judgemental discussion space.
