Description du projet
Créer des synergies de connaissances dans les universités
Les connaissances autochtones sont essentielles pour faire face aux crises mondiales actuelles, telles que le changement climatique, la perte de la diversité bioculturelle et la montée des nationalismes xénophobes. Ce moment historique charnière nécessite une réflexion et une action multicentriques, ainsi que la mise en commun des différents types d’expertise indigène et universitaire. Les universités jouent un rôle essentiel dans le développement des connaissances, de l’éducation et des directives politiques. Soutenu par le programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, le projet EDGES réunit des chercheurs de 18 universités européennes et américaines. Ensemble, ils feront progresser, dans le respect, des méthodologies innovantes et collaboratives, ainsi que de nouvelles stratégies visant à intégrer les connaissances autochtones dans les universités et les institutions chargées de l’élaboration des politiques. Grâce à des symposiums, des ateliers, des mini-cours, des publications scientifiques en libre accès, des recommandations politiques et aux réseaux sociaux, EDGES vise à remodeler l’éducation, les politiques et les pratiques scientifiques.
Objectif
Indigenous knowledges are crucial for coping with current global crises, such as climate change, loss of biocultural diversity and rise of xenophobic nationalisms. This pivotal historical moment requires multi-centred thinking and action, bringing together the multiplicity of Indigenous and academic expertise. Universities and academia are critically important in developing knowledge, education, and policy directives. Consequently, EDGES adopts those significant arenas to respectfully advance innovative, collaborative methodologies and new strategies for the entanglement of Indigenous knowledges in research, teaching and policy-making institutions. While there have been efforts to foster dialogue with Indigenous knowledges, these experiences remain elusive, local and not structurally transformative, as the shortcomings of multiculturalism and interculturality have demonstrated. How can we question the existing frameworks and develop new and effective entanglements of knowledges that draw from different epistemologies?
EDGES addresses this question through six different analytical layers with the significant participation of Indigenous academic researchers and the active collaboration of Indigenous intellectuals and experts. To accomplish this endeavour, EDGES creates a future sustainable and disciplinary diverse network of more than 150 researchers from 18 European and American universities, one SME and one NGO. The project contributes to a pluralist and multi-scale approach to knowledge production, research and dissemination through symposiums, workshops, mini-courses, open-access scientific publications, policy recommendations and social media. It will provide critical tools for universities, schools and communities to foster critical dialogue with Indigenous peoples and other cultural minorities by entangling Indigenous knowledges into university curricula and praxis, contributing to the education of future generations, improving policies and science renewal.
