Part 10: Research Themes – Conditions for Thrivival
MP3 Audio
This research project provides a voice and leadership opportunity for
Indigenous students with autism through participatory action research to inform
and ask how B.C. post-secondary teaching and learning practices and policy can
better integrate Indigenous knowledge in education and arts programming and
disrupt patterns of social injustice, exclusion, and cultural genocide while
promoting positive identity formation, pride, and resilience for Indigenous
persons with autism. We invite you to listen to the oral recording of
our final report, Thrivival: The Fire
Within.
