The 2021 RAP Research Forum continues its tradition of showcasing insightful student work, and hosting enlightening speakers. This year's distinguished panel will address the theme Reconciliation and Research. The panel will discuss how the paradigms that structure and support positivist, scholastic, and commercial approaches to research might be restructured and invigorated in the light of Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing, so as to revivify the relationships between the researcher, the researched, and the community. 

Join us online on Thursday, November 18 from 12 p.m. to 1:45 p.m.
