Knowledge Justice Collective

The collective seeks to respectfully advance meaningful engagements across knowledge systems. This begins with the recognition of epistemological value of Indigenous Knowledges in solving world problems. Since 2021, the collective has focused on systematically reviewing the IPCC AR6 to identify how Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledges have been included in this authoritative scientific report on the state of the planet. This led us to collaborate with geographer Eric Nost in further understanding the global landscape of climate knowledge production and the ways in which Indigenous Knowledges have been engaged with. This project has benefited immensely from the research assistantship of students at UBC: Amrit Tamang, Charlotte Taylor, Declan Taylor, Ramudi Samarasakera, Sayano Izu, and Thanh Le.
