The Journey of Scholarship

Connecting Teaching & Student Scholarship

By Considering Indigenous Research Methodologies

Based on the work of Shawn Wilson, PhD

Imagine an Island

The Island - Above and Below= data (surface culture - language, clothing, food, etc.) - what may be more easily observed and analyzed)

= related to development of new knowledge, use, action, new wisdom

= related to deep culture (underlying concepts, beliefs, assumptions, etc.), perhaps less apparent; worldview
