Workshop Description

As aspirations to ensure decolonization and reconciliation informs the strategic directions of practice, policy, and research in academia, it is imperative Indigenous lived experiences and knowledges are included in these efforts. In this talk, Dr. Rheanna Robinson will draw on her experience as an Indigenous scholar that lives with chronic illness and disability to describe how her academic work within Indigenous Disability Studies and Indigenous patient-partnered research represents a compelling example of how Indigenous knowledges offer the world meaningful representations of equity and inclusion in diverse and varying ways.
