Film preview of Water Wonders: Learning about water, culture, colonialism and connections

By Kristy Franks

The Water Wonders project is a way to connect the research process with real world experiences and aims to benefit those involved. I am honoured to have been working with the Cree Nation of Wemindji since 2014, and with partners from Adnyamathanha, Kaurna, and Ngarrindjeri communities in Australia since 2018. I strive for the work to be applicable, relevant, and reciprocal. I squirm at the idea of my doctoral work remaining limited to exclusive interviews and academic articles (although yes the articles will happen too!).

Embodying Ethical Space during COVID-19

By Anastasia Papadopoulos

I was offered an opportunity through the CRP to work with the Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq (CMM) and the Unama’ki Institute of Natural Resources (UINR) on a project focused on exploring IPCA governance barriers, opportunities, and aspirations in Nova Scotia. This was exciting to me – it was an opportunity to learn what it meant to do community-partnered research, and to learn how to actively engage in Ethical Space.
