ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
This week Tim Budge and Ruth Yeatman chat with the Joshua Waters about Indigenous Knowledge.
Joshua is a First Nations K/Gamilaroi man, PhD student and Senior Research Fellow with the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Deakin University. His work explores the critical role of Indigenous Knowledges in global higher education and institutional contexts.
He is also a core member of Deakin University's Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) Lab and a Director of the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Collective (IKSC) where he supports a number of regional, national and international partnerships and research projects aimed at utilising Indigenous knowledges and complexity for global systems innovation and change.
On EarthChat, we explore the meaning and significance of Indigenous knowledge and how it can throw light on some of the big questions we are facing as a society. Joshua will talk about how he lives and work with both Indigenous and Western knowledge, particularly his University study. We will also try to get a sense of how environmentalism and climate action can learn from Indigenous knowledge and how we can respect and support it in our work for the environment.
