The Topic
In this Eco-Leadership webinar, Mischel McMahon invites us to analyze views of reality or ontologies, some that dominate and some that are subjugated.
Core Idea
All people; learn to pause, be still, listen, ask more questions. From this understanding, there is diversity of thought, perception, and experience.
Reconstructing our human spaces so First Nations peoples stand strong in their intellectual sovereignty. Not as marginalized or exotic, but as equal participants of humanity.
Conversation
This conversation will shine the spotlight on our uncontested spaces; not Nations, people groups, or our organisations.
Instead, we will analyze views of reality or ontologies, some that dominate and some that are subjugated.
All inform our understanding of what is real and not real, allow who are stakeholders in knowledge construction, and build our concepts and theories for human interaction.
This act creates opportunity for First Nations relational worldviews, historically subjugated, to position concepts, ways of talking, and processes for all people.
This story finally opens the challenge, how can First Nations perspectives not only strongly position First Nations intellectual sovereignty but also address our contemporary challenges.
The Agenda
In the first half of the webinar, Michel will deliver the main seminar.
In the second half, we'll move into a reflection-application session:
- 'Composting': experienced peers work the material in small groups to sprout new ideas;
- 'Weaving': attendees gather to collectively reflect and question, weaving our experiences together;
- Discuss how we will apply learnings to our personal practice in Reflection Application Pairs (RAPs).
