    Decolonizing community-engaged research: Designing CER with cultural humility as a foundational value
    Itchuaqiyaq, Cana; Lindgren, Chris A.; Kramer, Corina (ACM, 2023-10-02)
    In this article, we uptake the call for equipping researchers in practicing socially just CER in Indigenous communities through developing a framework for cultural humility in CER. Sparked by our research team’s experience considering the potential of CER to transform and contribute to the needs of both tribal and academic communities, we present cultural humility as a personal precondition for socially just, decolonial CER practice. We use the Inuit cultural practice of nalukataq as a key metaphor to present our framework for cultural humility: listening to the caller, setting your feet, pulling equally, staying in sync.

    To Community with Care: Enacting Positive Barriers to Access as Good Relations
    Itchuaqiyaq, Cana; Gottschalk Druschke, Caroline; Cagle, Lauren E.; Bloom Pojar, Rachel (2023-01)
    This symposium builds from our discussions about communities, academia, activism, and access as four faculty members with different positionalities and perspectives to advocate for the protection of relations in the face of universities’ demands for access to peoples, communities, and lands. In each of four individually authored reflections, we recount our experiences working with and being in community as part of our academic practice. We extend from work in disability studies to explain that while access is generally understood to be good, and often is, access can also be the precursor to exploitation. We argue that to mitigate that risk, we can take on a positive gatekeeping function as part of being in community with care.
