Indigenous Research and Data Series
Session #3 of 3 - How to Persuade Policymakers: Storytelling and Statistics

Building on our earlier two discussions, this talk will look at advice from Indigenous scholars regarding how best to collect and report data. We will talk about these experts’ advice, thinking about ways that Indigenous communities can benefit from research and data collection, with a larger goal of data sovereignty.

Presenter:
Linda Quirke has been a faculty member in Sociology at Wilfrid Laurier University since 2008, after completing her PhD at McMaster University in 2006. Her SSHRC-funded research focuses on family life: parenting magazine advice and children's leisure time. She has previously examined parenting advice regarding children’s body weight and foodwork, as well as education and research ethics. She teaches courses in research methods and sociology of families. She lives on the Haldimand Tract (Kitchener) and her teenaged children roast her for being a so-called parenting “expert”.
