Indigenous Research Across Disciplines |
||
The event's theme, Indigenous Research Across Disciplines: Current and Future Directions at Trent, was an opportunity for the Trent community to gather and participate in a research exchange, said organizer Dr. Lynne Davis, director of the Native Studies PhD Program. "The day provides an opportunity to understand and share with one another what we're doing and to know what people are doing in other parts of the university. We don't often have contact with one another," she said. "It's also an opportunity for students to meet faculty and find out what their research is." The event, held in Mshiikenh: First Peoples Gathering Space in Enweying, included two keynote speakers – Craig McNaughton of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and Trent Professor Emeritus Marlene Brant-Castellano.

Prof. Brant-Castellano's talk focused on ethics and the future of Aboriginal research. Faculty and graduate students presented brief lectures on their research. The variety of topics included:
