The Rematriation of Science: Restoring Balance through Indigenous Knowledges - Melissa K. Nelson | Part 2

Melissa K. Nelson and Host Jaune Evans

How can a rematriated science address the roots of the polycrisis? Can society move beyond an anthropocentric, male-dominated science to a relational one rooted in justice and care? As an Anishinaabe ecologist and transdisciplinary scholar-activist, Commonweal New School Visiting Scholar Melissa K. Nelson is working to find ways to return to and revitalize the Indigenous and feminist roots of science by highlighting ways of knowing that are based on epistemologies of care, belonging, kinship, and respectful intimacy with the natural world and each other.

In part 2 of this podcast series, Melissa shares an experiential process around her new work on Rematriating Science. If you would like to join in creative exploration and share notes, go to our Miro board: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVHgwH5JU=/
