講題摘要：

  Increasingly within qualitative research terms as Indigenous conceptual framing or Indigenous methodology have been utilized to describe methodological approaches that seek to uphold Indigenous epistemology, theory, and method. But how are Indigenous methodologies generally understood, and further how are Indigenous methodologies put into research practice. This discussion begins with a brief overview of several key characteristics of Indigenous methodologies with a focus on several specific aspects of Indigenous methodologies that evoke how both knowledge and the self is implicated in how we position ourselves within knowledge construction.  This presentation seeks to explore the following questions:  What are Indigenous methodologies? Is this approach for everyone? What are some of the challenges and possibilities?  This discussion concludes with reflections on the shared principles of Indigenous methodologies within a global context.
