This event will be hosted live in the Atrium of McNally Robinson Booksellers, Grant Park and also available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/dk4xcW5BulM
An enriching and inviting collection, Métis Methodologies clarifies what makes Métis research methods distinct. Insightful and frank reflections on wide-ranging research applications guide readers toward rich research paradigms for ethical and relational scholarship on Métis life, kin, history, and homelands.
Through grounded examples in research projects on Michif language revitalization, land-based pedagogy, health research, digital storytelling, and literary criticism, readers will learn specific techniques for research in this important contribution to decolonial knowledge production and research methodologies.
Laura Forsythe, PhD, has helped lift up Indigenous scholars' work for over a decade as co-editor of seven collections, co-founder of the Metis Thinkers Network, editor of the Canadian Journal of Indigenous Studies, and member of the circle of editors of Pawaatamihk: Journal of Metis Thinkers. Her kinship ties include the Huppe, Ward, Berard, Morin, Lavallee, and Cyr lines. Her ancestors worked for the Northwest and Hudson’s Bay Companies, fought in the Victory of Frog Plain, and owned Lot 31, the site of a contemporary Métis space called Pakan Town.
Jennifer Markides, PhD, is a member of the Métis Nation of Alberta under the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, SSHRC Tier II Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Youth Well-Being and Education, and associate professor in both the Werklund School of Education and Faculty of Social Work at the University of Calgary. Her community-based research focuses on the dreams, interests, needs, and holistic wellbeing of Indigenous youth in locations in Alberta and the Yukon. Working together, the partnerships respond to the immediate goals and long-term visions of First Nations and Métis communities. Her ancestral Métis kin are the McKay, Favel, Ballenden/Ballendine, Linklater, and McDermott/MacDermott families, with Scrip records and connections to Red River. She honours her ongoing commitments of learning, relationship-building, and service to Métis people, communities, and organizations through her academic work and personal life.
