Episode #1: Indigenous Ways of Knowing
Listen now
Description
Welcome to the University of British Columbia's Blue and Goldcast. Each month, UBC President Santa Ono and UBC Assistant Professor Jennifer Gardy discuss big issues in higher education, including: student diversity, international engagement, research ethics, and many others. First off, we’d like to acknowledge that the UBC campus sits on the traditional, ancestral, and unseeded territory of the Musqueam people. In this episode, we focus on how indigenous research methodologies are incorporated in the academy. What do we need to do in order to bring different ways of knowing into the university? You'll hear: Eduardo Jovel tell you about the time he did psychedelic drugs with Amazonian traditional healers, and what it taught him about indigenous ways of knowing.  What it's like the visit the Musqueam Garden at the UBC Farm, where community members and students learn about indigenous land practices. The opening of UBC's Indigenous Residential School History and Dialogue Centre, and the apology Santa Ono gave that day for UBC's complicity in perpetuating Canada's residential school system.  A tour of UBC’s Point Grey Campus with Musqueam Elder Larry Grant. Plus, a segment highlighting UBC artists. This episode, Omar Prazhari's ATSEA. If you’d like to learn more about Eduardo Jovel’s time in the Amazon, we suggest you read his article “Plantas con Madre,” in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology.
