Challenge Friday
The CPED Framework: A pathway for Indigenous Scholarly Practitioners

The Challenge:

Indigenous peoples have long resisted assimilation into Western knowledge and research paradigms within institutions. This discussion focuses on the ways the CPED framework provides a pathway for Indigenous scholars to address complex problems of practice nested within epistemologies that respect Indigenous self-determination and data-sovereignty. Our goal is to generate discussion about integrating place-based, reciprocal approaches to enrich scholarly inquiry.
