This season of Research Time is aimed at holding conversational spaces with consenting Métis scholars and thinkers who contributed to this special issue about their attendance at Mawachihitotaak - Métis Studies Conference in Pawaatamihk: Journal of Métis Thinkers, who wish to speak more deeply about their publications, and I want to hear more about their attendance at Mawachihitotaak - Métis Studies Conference. This is the first conversation with Benjamin Beauchemin, discussing his scholarly paper, "Reconsidering L'Espace de Louis Goulet."

His work is available to read online through Pawaatamihk: Journal of Métis Thinkers https://pawaatamihk.uwinnipeg.ca/index.php/Pawaatamihk

Benjamin also noted for listeners to read and respond to the book, too:

Article: “Queer breaches and normative devices: Language learners queering gender, sexuality, and the L2 classroom” by Drs. Ashley Moore, James Coda, Julia Siegelman, and Melisa Cahnmann-Taylor. This work was published almost a year ago, in January 2024.

Robert and EducateTheEarth discuss the importance of queering educational pedagogies and practices for all learners in a classroom. From their discussion, they acknowledge the importance of having fun by exploring your own pedagogies and practices and that educators can be fluid, evolving, and flexible. Robert and EducateTheEarth also note the brilliance of appreciating that students can be your co-learners/co-conspirators and have so much to offer to support your teaching, so long as you're open-minded!

Article name: The Two Row Wampum-Covenant Chain Tradition as a Guide for Indigenous-University Research Partnerships by Rick Hill and Daniel Coleman.

In Part 2 of this episode, Jenny and EducateTheEarth discuss the key principles of engaging ethically with using the Two-Row Wampum Belt, as outlined in the article. Jenny also importantly notes what everyone can do, from different backgrounds and professions, to understand their roles and responsibilities to honourably work and research alongside Indigenous Peoples in what is now called Canada, and repolish the chain in their own ways.
