Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous Knowledges

Canada

What will I learn?

Indigenous Knowledges emerge from relationships between the Land and our Peoples. Indigenous Knowledges theme faculty and research students draw on Indigenous pedagogy and research methodologies when working with the Land, Elders and community on in diverse and inter-related areas such as language recovery/reclamation, redevelopment of Indigenous governance systems, health and wellbeing, ecological restoration, food sovereignty, housing and cultural revitalization.The PhD degree is centered on participating faculty and students convening on a regular basis to share ideas, learn about each other’s work, identify opportunities for collaboration, and broaden their interdisciplinary expertise. Faculty scholars all have experience with Indigenous Knowledges, and are committed to the interdisciplinary nature of the program.
