Stolen Treasures on Unceded Airwaves: Indigenous Radio and the Case for Community-Based Research with Museums
What is community-based research, and why should people who work for or study museums care about it? In this presentation, Emily Jean Leischner, a settler PhD candidate at the University of British Columbia, makes the case for applied research that centers community control and expertise by sharing an example of a project she is working on with the Nuxalk Radio Board of the Nuxalk First Nation, located in the central coast of what is now British Columbia, Canada.
