TAKE IT FROM THE TOP
Education and Outreach
IPY International Early Career Researcher Symposium, 4-8 December 2009, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
2009
After hundreds of years of being the object of Southern research, the voice of Northern people needs to be heard not only on the North, but also on the South. The Inuvik Literacy Circle and NWT Literacy Council, with Aurora College’s Inuvik Learning Centre’s staff and students, will conduct a three-part video research project focusing on Northern Perspectives and we would like to hear what you have to say!
We are looking for volunteer participants to help our Learning Centre students to record voices and images of the North. Now it is their turn to be heard.
How do you see the South?
How do you see Southerners?
What would you like Southerners to know about the North?
What would you like to say about your North?
Who are you as a Northerner?
Building on Zebedee Nungak’s groundbreaking work in Qallunology, Rasmussen’s Qallunology: Pedagogy of the Oppressor while considering Critical Whiteness Studies, this will be an investigation into Northern perceptions of the South, Southerners in the North and also the North and the Northern land and people. Employing primary research techniques with anthropological and sociological theory, students will interview each other and community members. They will draw on the Vertov and Fogo Island models of using video as an educational method of dialogue and community development. The project will use collaborative research design, interviews, video and reflective assignments to explore the South and the North. As advocated by Freire, Giroux, Hooks, Linda Smith and Graham Smith, student researchers will use their voices in a project of reclaiming and expanding Northerner research and learning from a distinctly and uniquely Northern place.
