WIS2DOM, Weaving Indigenous and Sustainability Sciences: Diversifying our Methods

该奖项为为期三天半的研讨会提供资金，该研讨会的目标是通过将土著和可持续发展科学结合起来，发现新的信息和/或理解，并最终用于为可持续发展实践提供信息。提议的研讨会将挑战这些领域的关键思想家，以培养互利和适当的原则、协议和实践，以解决维持弹性景观的全球需求。本次研讨会是对2010年举办的为期一周的研讨会“土著生态知识和地理信息系统：探索本体论兼容的技术和技术”的直接回应。讲习班是一个国际跨学科小组，由土著学者、文化从业者、学生和与土著社区合作或为土著社区工作的非土著学者组成，讨论能够代表土著对模拟环境现象的观点的空间数据基础设施的发展。研讨会的组织者，俄勒冈州立大学已故的迪安娜·金斯顿博士，在研讨会结束时总结道：“我们学到了两件事：1。每个原住民社区和每个学术学科都处于不同的发展阶段，对谁、什么、何时、何地以及为什么要呈现SDI，这意味着我们需要共同确定这类项目的起点和路径。2. 集体协议的要点之一是必须通过可持续的原则、协议和实践来与我们的环境联系起来（Hi’iaka Working Group, 2011）。”WIS2DOM研讨会将以第一次研讨会的经验教训为基础，通过促进结论观点，即通过维持生计或可持续农业与其领土保持紧密联系的土著人民拥有深刻的空间知识，将人类充分融入自然世界，这种知识与发展中的跨学科可持续性科学没有根本区别。ppi坚持认为，尽管对维持弹性景观有着相似的愿景，但土著科学和可持续性科学尚未就如何实现这一共同目标进行对话。本次研讨会的研究团队和组织者认识到本体论多元论在推进科学研究方面的价值，并通过本次研讨会，将土著和可持续性科学家带入对话，以实现实现共同目标的多样化方法。pi认识到跨越本体论边界的对话带来了重大挑战，但相信土著和可持续性科学之间的关系不是二分的，而是显著互补的。该项目旨在创造一个受欢迎的空间，以便在之前被概念化为非常不同的知识系统之间进行思想和概念的交流。

This award provides funding for a 3 1/2 day workshop, the goal of which is to uncover new information and/or understandings that can be gained by bringing together Indigenous and sustainability science and ultimately used to inform sustainable practices. The proposed workshop will challenge key thinkers in these areas to cultivate mutually conducive and appropriate principles, protocols, and practices that address the global need to sustain resilient landscapes. This workshop is a direct response to a previous weeklong workshop held in 2010, "Indigenous Ecological Knowledges and Geographic Information Systems: Exploring ontologically Compatible Techniques and Technologies." The workshop was an international interdisciplinary group of Indigenous scholars, cultural practitioners, students and non-Indigenous scholars working with or for Indigenous communities to discuss the development of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) capable of representing Indigenous perspectives of modeling environmental phenomena. The organizer of the workshop, the late Dr. Deanna Kingston of Oregon State University, concluded at the completion of the workshop, "We learned two things: 1. Each Indigenous community as well as each academic discipline is at a different developmental stage of understanding, the who, what, when, where, and why of SDI representation, which means we needed to collectively identify the starting point and path for this kind of project. 2. One of the points of collective agreement was the necessity of relating to our environments through sustainable principles, protocols, and practices (Hi'iaka Working Group, 2011)." The WIS2DOM workshop will build on the lessons learned from the first workshop, by facilitating the concluding perspective that indigenous peoples who maintain a strong connection with their territory through subsistence or sustainable agriculture have a deep spatial knowledge that fully integrates humans into the natural world, a knowledge that is not fundamentally different from the developing transdisciplinary science of sustainability. The PIs maintain that despite holding a similar vision of sustaining resilient landscapes, Indigenous and sustainability sciences have not entered into dialogue on how to accomplish this common goal. The research team and organizers of this workshop recognize the value of ontological pluralism with regard to advancing scientific research and through this proposed workshop, will bring Indigenous and sustainability scientists into dialogue in order to diversify methods toward meeting common goals. The PIs recognize that dialogue across ontological boundaries poses significant challenges, but believe that the relationship between Indigenous and sustainability science is not dichotomous but is instead significantly complimentary. This project proposes to create a welcoming space for the exchange of ideas and concepts between what have previously been conceptualized as very divergent knowledge systems.
