Mar 20, 2024 Indigenous Knowledges as Research Methodologies in Psychology
The term Indigenous psychology refers to several related projects within disciplinary psychology, including the investigation of diverse psychologies enacted and expressed by Indigenous Peoples as well as consideration of the implications of Indigenous “ways of knowing” for knowledge production within the discipline. As Indigenous Peoples of the USA and Canada, Native Americans and First Nations people have survived centuries of colonial dispossession and disruption by European settlers and their descendants. This legacy of colonial subjugation has played out through harmful knowledge production about Indigenous Peoples, too often entailing histories of exploitative and damaging research by outsiders. Thus, ongoing anticolonial struggle by Indigenous people incorporates efforts to unseat hegemonic methodologies and approaches within academic disciplines, including psychology. Indeed, many Indigenous psychologists begin their resistance to stock disciplinary methodologies during their graduate training. In this virtual session on Indigenous knowledges and methodologies in psychology, four Indigenous psychologists will share their experiences and expertise concerning the identification and application of Indigenous ways of knowing for research in psychology.
