Research is observation. Theory comes from my previous observation and experiences of a subject/life. I'm contemplating the direction of my future research as I get back into the swing. What do you research? What theories & methods do you use?

Sabbatical is over. First few days back have only increased my inbox not my output. Starting to feel like academia needs to review its own history to determine priorities because none of the things I have done this week are research, teaching, mentorship or writing! #academicsky #nativeacademic
A very elusive club for international scholars... interesting!
Not with Starmer at the helm
Carney meant Canadians. We have the Constitution Act of 1982 that kept us in the Commonwealth (different issue) but the monarchy is just a remnant- no real ties. Carney misspoke as this is Indigenous land. Ask Alberta
Let’s start an Alberta petition to return the lands and resources to Treaty First Nations. Make Alberta Treaty Territories again.

Tapa de un articulo científico: Writing in community: Relationship building and accountability in knowledge production Jordi Armani Rivera Prince, Emily M. Blackwood, Madeleine Landrum, Emily B. P. Milton, Elizabeth L. Rodgers, Monica Barnes, Elizabeth Chin, Christa Craven, Kristina Douglass, María José Figuerero Torres, María A. Gutiérrez, Sarah Herr, Lisa Hodgetts, Kirk A. Maasch, Kylie E. Quave, Danilyn Rutherford, Daniel H. Sandweiss As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necessarily solitary) process, even within research teams and in coauthorship contexts. Here, we focus on peer-reviewed publication as the principal manifestation of knowledge production and propose a method for challenging division, hierarchy, power differentials, and adherence to tradition: writing in community. Writing in community is a collaborative form of writing that centers care, abundance, joy, and personal satisfaction over the individuality currently rewarded by the academy. This process engenders consensus, circumvents normative hierarchical research and writing, and promotes relationship building. Here, we experiment by inviting reviewers and editors into our community to collectively contribute to the writing process and reflect on that experience together. Ultimately, we challenge norms for scholarship, (co)authorship, and ways of knowing to offer a more equitable praxis of knowledge production. We propose that writing in community can help anthropologists enact values of multivocality and research transparency.
Academic writing can be a pain, difficult coauthors, bossy PIs, crummy reviewers, testy editors but sometimes it all gels in a joyful process. So proud to share this publication on "Writing in community" #OpenAccess #AcWri doi.org/10.1111/aman...
Definitely working with Indigenous People!
There’s a fully funded PhD student ship at the University of Glasgow for someone with an interest in fan fiction and online fan communities! The topic sounds awesome, and the supervisor is excellent. Give it a share! #academicsky
Can I suggest another as a First Nations scholar?

There are many lower impact but highly read open access journals. Check out Researchgate to find them
I think all academics have this happening. That's why I hire grad students as RAs to help me finish a grouping/theme of papers!

I have visited several of the Native communities in Alaska that are directly impacted by rising sea levels; and shrinking permafrost.
This sounds very much like my work!! 🤞🏼
Or build relationships with Indigenous Peoples, communities or organizations, which will be the foundation of this discussion. Using Indigenous methodologies aligned with local/regional Indigenous community(s) can be one example of relationship building prior to seeking funding. End/
Hopefully they choose mine! "Indigenous data sovereignty continues to centre Indigenous voices by following the principles of ownership including possession and control, accountability, relationality, and increasing ethics control. Non-Indigenous researchers struggle with how to engage 1/

I did it! Went from sitting & doing research, meetings & professor-like stuff to being on sabbatical, walking a half marathon in 3 hours and 21 minutes!!! Not fast, but I am SUPER proud of me! Now back to my regular schedule with meetings, grants & research stuff. Thank you/miigwetch! #academicsky
It's the night before my first race. I'm walking #MississaugaMarathon half-marathon. I've been walking for over a year... hoping I can finish! #profsgettingphysical

Conestoga College has a mass layoff. Post-secondary funding continues to be under threat in Canada!
In case you hadn't noticed:
I wish I was closer or at least in the US. Two of my research projects are about previously incarcerated Indigenous People in Ontario Canada. We're doing at least one gathering in Fall 2025 to connect Indigenous community groups, policymakers & the public about the work
Welcome to Bluesky!
Wish I could be there! Already double booked that!! Love to have a coffee with you!
If you have the time and capacity, register & check out this virtual conversation!
