In honour of National Indigenous History Month, the University of Ottawa’s Institute of Indigenous Research and Studies and the Office of the Vice-President, Research invite you to an interdisciplinary panel discussion led by Indigenous scholars on: 

• Doing research with, by and for Indigenous peoples; 
• The place of original peoples of North America and their knowledges in research; 
• Challenging equity, diversity and inclusion from the viewpoint of Indigenous scholars; and 
• Why and how to respect principles of Indigenous research.

Join us to keep making research inclusive and relevant for everyone.
