Join us for this Community Forum where we will delve into the intricacies of interethnic research, the convergence and divergence of Indigenous worldviews and Western science, and the challenges and opportunities of integrating Indigenous voices into academic research teams. We will discuss the co-creation of research teams that value Indigenous wisdom as legitimate knowledge systems and shift the mindset of western researchers to enable deeper collaboration with Indigenous approaches, the limitations of western research methodologies and different ways in which Indigenous research be valued, as well as the consequences of excluding Indigenous peoples from research with plant medicines. Our speakers will be Simon Ruffell, Ph.D, a psychiatrist, ayahuasca researcher, and student of curanderismo, who has extensive experience working with Indigenous communities in the Amazon basin, Jem Stone, who is a We Al-li Facilitator, Wayapa Wuurrk practitioner, trainer and cultural consultant in psychedelic assisted therapies in Australia, in this forum moderated by Glauber Assis, Ph.D, who is Associate Director of Chacruna Latinoamérica in Brazil.
