MBI ID Learning Series

Tuesday, March 24, 2:30-4 p.m.

LC 301, Grenfell Campus; online

As part of the Marine Biomass Innovation (MBI) Project’s Interdisciplinary Research Learning Series, the WATERR Lab and the HEAL Lab invite you to the third session of the series. TRACK, short for Transforming Relations AND Convergent Knowledges, brings together scholars who work across Indigenous knowledge systems, natural sciences, and health sciences. The unit examines how these traditions of knowledge can meet, inform one another, and reshape scientific practice.

In this session, Drs. Karen Doody and Erica Samms Hurley will facilitate a conversation about the relational foundations shared by Indigenous and Western natural science traditions. The discussion focuses on Etuaptmumk (“Two-Eyed Seeing”), an approach that promotes learning to see the world through the strengths of both Indigenous and Western ways of knowing.

Participants will explore how this principle extends beyond theory to influence everyday research practices, shaping how scientists observe, collaborate, and learn from the land and from each other.

Date: Tuesday, March 24, 2026. Time: 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm NST. Venue: LC 301 & WebEx

Please take a minute to register for the session. Thank you very much!!
