Decolonizing Education, Evaluation, and Research (DEER) in Health Series
About this Event
We are happy to invite you to the Indigenous Health Learning Lodge's inaugural DEER lecture where we are bringing together students, staff, faculty, and members of the community to learn about Indigenous health research and decolonizing approaches within academic spaces.
The first DEER lecture will be with Dr. Hugh Burnam, Hode’nhyahä:dye’. Dr. Burnam is Mohawk, Wolf Clan and is an Assistant Professor of Oncology in the Department for Indigenous Cancer Health at Roswell Park, where he supports Indigenous advancement and education in cancer research. In his role, Dr. Burnam works to support the ARCH program (Akwesasne Research Center for Health), including supporting Mohawk youth internship programs for high school and college students, and conducts independent research on health disparities and cancer in Indigenous communities. Hugh received his doctorate from the Cultural Foundations of Education program at Syracuse University, his master’s degree in Adult Education from Buffalo State University, and his bachelor’s degree in Individualized Studies (Ethnic and Minority Studies) from Buffalo State University. Hugh loves spending time with his family, hiking, lacrosse, and other outdoor activities.
The event is hosted in Michael DeGroote Centre for Learning and Discovery (MDCL 3020). Light refreshments will be provided.
