STREAMS

Enabling Diverse Knowledges

This transdisciplinary stream invites philosophers, scientists, artists, and other scholars and practitioners into conversation to explore and unpack knowledge and knowledge-making within and across different (cultural and/or disciplinary) communities.

One central discussion will be the way Indigenous knowledge and Science can be woven together well. Another discussion will focus on identifying and removing the barriers to further enabling cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary engagement in Philosophy.

Other questions include:

• What is a knowledge system?
• What are the similarities and differences between Indigenous knowledge and Science?
• What are some examples of scholars and/or practitioners drawing from different knowledges well? And what can we learn from these examples?
• What are the various ways that knowledges can be combined? And what can we learn from these insights?
• How can we better recognise, engage with, and enable Indigenous knowledges: in their own right? in conversation with other knowledges? in equal partnership with other knowledges?
