GENERAL OBJECTIVES, RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND SCIENTIFIC RELEVANCE

This workshop invites students and early career scholars to a dialogue considering how the decolonial turn in the Social Sciences impacts Policy Studies, if at all. The workshop will begin with an outline Indigenous perspectives on policy research, conceptualization, analysis and advocacy, with the Yellowhead Institute as a case study, followed by brief presentations on similar examples from workshop participants. Following presentations, there will be a facilitated dialogue with three broad goals: 1) to assess the degree to which those working in the discipline(s) of Policy Studies are engaging with "decolonization", 2) to draw out principles of a general approach and/or method to decolonial Policy Studies, and, 3) to reflect on the opportunities and challenges for solidarity between non-Indigenous Policy Studies scholars and Indigenous communities. The workshop invites short presentation proposals from conference attendees, especially Indigenous students and early career scholars.
