10 am MT Edmonton

Indigenous Research and Data series

April 16, 23 and 30th, 10am (MT).

1. Starvation for Science: How Research Helped Colonialism

This discussion will review some of the history of scientific research and how it was used to support colonialism. We will look at malnourishment experiments conducted in the 1940s and 1950s. This talk will examine scientific research as a tool used by government officials to further colonization, rather than a neutral way of advancing knowledge.

Watch: 4:38-35:43: “Nutrition Experiments in Residential Schools”

Watch: Hunger experienced in residential schools linked to present-day health problems (2:11)

2. What Not to do: Universities and First Nations Data

This presentation will look closely at two examples of problematic research carried out on First Nations people. Our discussion will focus on two stories. First, we will learn about the Havasupai tribe, and a study they participated in at Arizona State University. Second, we will look at a more recent study and the Pictou Landing First Nation. Both examples show us the importance of “OCAP” principles regarding data: Ownership, Control, Access and Possession.

Watch: The Two Faces of Research: the Havasupai experience with Arizona State University (21:12)

Watch: The Havasupai Project (2:13)

Watch: Understanding the First Nations Principles of OCAP™: Our Road Map to Information Governance (2:36)

3. How to Persuade Policymakers: Storytelling and Statistics

Building on our earlier two discussions, this talk will look at advice from Indigenous scholars regarding how best to collect and report data. We will talk about these experts’ advice, thinking about ways that Indigenous communities can benefit from research and data collection, with a larger goal of data sovereignty.

Watch: FNIGC: Data by First Nations for First Nations (7:19)

Watch: UAlberta's Cindy Blackstock (11:54)

Presenter: Linda Quirke has been a faculty member in Sociology at Wilfrid Laurier University since 2008, after completing her PhD at McMaster University in 2006. Her SSHRC-funded research focuses on family life: parenting magazine advice and children's leisure time. She has previously examined parenting advice regarding children’s body weight and foodwork, as well as education and research ethics. She teaches courses in research methods and sociology of families. She lives on the Haldimand Tract (Kitchener) and her teenaged children roast her for being a so-called parenting “expert”.
