Epistemological Foundations Conversation #5

September 18 @ 17:30 - 18:30

Clusters: Indigenous Futures

Save the date for the fifth Epistemological Foundations Conversation, focusing on the theme of Research-Creation and AI. EF05 will bring together Archer Pechawis, Scott Benesiinaabandan, and Bryan Kuwada to reflect on their approaches to knowledge-making through research and creation. This Conversation will be moderated by Dr. Sara Diamond.

ABOUT THE EVENT:

The Epistemological Foundations Conversations feature members of the Abundant Intelligences research team sharing how the knowledge frameworks in their field are constructed, validated, and employed. This session will provide an opportunity to dive deeper into the intersection of Research-Creation and AI.

In the last 20 years, research-creation methodologies have emerged and been increasingly recognized within the academic research community. That being said, Indigenous Knowledge Systems have drawn on research-creation for millennia – and many artists from diverse cultures have long engaged in research as well as creation.
Academic interest into research-creation has opened the door to deeper and wider forms of knowledge exploration and sharing.  This has meant the institutionalization and expansion of research-creation PhDs and grants in the UK, Australia, Canada, and some other territories. In some instances, this was not necessarily out of a genuine commitment to these practices but to help institutions achieve their research funding allocation. While such contradictions are in the background, our discussion will start out by defining what research-creation is for our panelists and will then move on to exploring the ways that they use research-creation to engage with AI.

This is a hybrid event. In-person attendance requires RSVP confirmation by email at abint-activities@concordia.ca.
