Re-storying and Humanizing Research and Practice to Mobilize Reconciliation in Health Care
Wednesday, February 26th at 12 pm (CST/SK)
Join us for the next Inspired Breathing webinar in our Indigenous Health Series. Guests Dr. Sarah Oosman and Dënë Cheecham-Uhrich will talk about re-storying and humanizing research and practice to mobilize reconciliation in health care.
Presentation Objectives
- Provide narratives that highlight how the presenters worked collaboratively to intersect Indigenous and western science and knowledge (in the spirit of reconciliation in research);
- Demonstrate the importance of relationship and relational approaches, and what this could look like, to re-story who we are, individually and collectively, in the act of re-concili-action; and
- Emphasize the need to be present in the ‘process of’ reconciliation, where the process is the outcome.
