Abstract
In this session, Michaela McGuire will discuss the methodological framework that guides her Ph.D. research. This adapted methodological framework includes decolonization, resurgence, grounded normativity (see: Coulthard, 2014; & Simpson, 2017), and Haida values. She will reflect on the tensions and uncertainty she has grappled with in conducting research in her home community, navigating the dualities of western and Nation-based/community research, and the impacts of cognitive imperialism and imposter syndrome.
