Item Indigenous perspectives on open science and the decolonization of knowledge(UNESCO Chair, 2022-05-11) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshThis policy brief on Indigenous Perspectives on Open Science and the Decolonization of Knowledge is a contribution to WHEC 22 theme three on Inclusion on Higher Education. It is the product of The World Virtual Indigenous Circle on Open Science and the Decolonization of Knowledge which took place on November 12, 2020. It was organized by the UNESCO Chair in Community-Based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education, co-hosted by the Canadian Commission for UNESCO and the World Indigenous Nations Higher Education Consortium, and the format was designed by Lorna Wanósts'a7 Williams. The Circle featured nearly 20 Indigenous speakers and attracted some 300 registrants from around the world. Its purpose was to inform UNESCO's drafting of a recommendation on open science and, in turn, to ensure Indigenous knowledge is incorporated respectfully and with integrity to help reshape how higher education institutions recognize and use it. The aim of this brief is to share our recommendations on the next of many steps toward ensuring that Indigenous knowledge is better recognized worldwide, so it can guide individuals and institutions in higher education, in research, and in protecting the Earth.Item “Knowledge was always systematized”: Community-based participatory research case studies focused on understanding community and/or indigenous knowledge used to address climate change issues and develop climate resiliency(UNESCO Chair, 2025-02-24) DECODEThis working paper is about DECODE's approach to community-based participatory research on climate resiliency. It examines six case studies from Malaysia, India, Uganda, Colombia, the Arctic, and Western Canada, looking at how community and Indigenous knowledge is being used to address climate change. Each case study follows a four-step research cycle of partner engagement, data collection, sharing and analysis, and knowledge mobilization, guided by a knowledge democracy framework. Preliminary findings are organized around two areas: what the case studies reveal about research processes, and what they reveal about community knowledge cultures, including trust-building, women's leadership, capacity building, and co-governance. It closes by outlining ten key messages emerging from the case studies, offered for further review and discussion on how academic and community knowledge systems can work together to support climate resilience.Item Local knowledge, social movements and participatory research: Indian perspectives(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2021-11-30) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)
