How do we conceptualise methodology?
Match the terms
What is Epistemology?
the knowledge we believe to be true and where knowledge comes from
What is axiology?
the values that inform how we see the world
The Indigenous Standpoint Theory involves the researcher being what?
- Indigenous;
- aware of the limitations of colonial research;
- able to provide benefit to the researchers’ community or the wider Indigenous community and;
- wherever possible prioritising Indigenous languages
The Indigenous Standpoint Theory has premise that the researcher has what?
- social position provides an opportunity to ask how they come to know their world;
- agency is framed by the position of the researcher and the limitations and possibilities of what the researcher can know and;
- physical experiences and memory inform and limit the range and diversity of possible responses
What is the key to the Indigenous Research Paradigm theory methodology?
- resistance as an emancipatory imperative in research dealing with self-determination and oppression;
- political integrity as the research is conducted by Indigenous peoples into the heart of Indigenous struggles and;
- privileging of Indigenous voices
An Indigenous Research Paradigm also recognises that an Indigenous ________(knowing) and _________(being) is based upon relationships and _________-(doing) is based on relational accountability
An Indigenous Research Paradigm also recognises that an Indigenous epistemology (knowing) and ontology (being) is based upon relationships and axiology (doing) is based on relational accountability
What is Critical Indigenous Theory?
the intersection between Indigenous ways of knowing being and doing with critical theory as “a diagnostic way of reading and interpreting the colonial logics that underpin cultural, intellectual, and political discourses”
How does Critical Indigenous Theory encourages researchers, to confront key challenges connected to the meanings of science, community, and democracy?
- Be proactive; they should name the world for themselves
- Craft their own version of science and empirical activity, including how science and scientific understandings will be used in their world
- Develop a participatory model of democracy
- Use theory proactively, as an agent of change, but act in ways that are accountable to the Indigenous community and not just the academy
- Resist new forms of colonization while contesting neocolonial efforts to commodify Indigenous knowledge.
