Two-Day Indigenous Ethnography Workshop organize by Rayburn College and Zo Academia
The primary goals of the workshop is to enable Indigenous Zo students to use the tools and the skills in anthropology they learn at the workshop to tell their own stories through this discipline/ approach. This workshop encourages Indigenous youth to be agents of qualitative and positive change in their communities through research. The “Indigenous ethnography” workshop will address the emergent nature and praxis of indigenous knowledge production in anthropology, vaguely identifiable as approximating anthropological inquiry in the Western sense of social science. The workshop will feature how indigenous people can do ethnography to indigenize ethnography and decolonize oppressive systemic practices in building academic scholarship to liberate Indigenous communities from colonialism, and the ongoing constraints of colonial systems of systemic racism that have been imposed on Indigenous peoples as a global phenomenon. The event was funded and sponsored by Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity (DEI) & Engaged Learning Office (ELO) University of Michigan | School of Information.
