Voices of Healing: How a Research Project is Using Music to Communicate its Findings
... This model is informed by Indigenous worldviews and takes into consideration Aboriginal peoples' histories and lived realities. Specific to the addictions field, Dell andcolleagues (2012, 2011) have reflected on how, to varying degrees, using Western addictions treatment and prevention practices with Aboriginal individuals and communities is problematic. For instance, as Western psychiatry is based on an individualistic, biomedical model, most often its practitioners do not take into account wholistic views of mental wellness, the protective influence of traditional cultural practices and beliefs, or the historical, social, political, and economic factors that shape First Nations youth experiences with substance use and mental wellness Marshall's principle of two-eyed seeing for an integrative science: ...
Drawing on three culturally specific research projects, this paper examines how community-based knowledge brokers' engagement in brokering knowledge shaped the projects' processes. Informed by Deleuze and Guattari's (1987) conceptualization of the "rhizome," we discuss how community knowledge brokers' engagement in open research-creation practices embrace the relational foundation of Indigenous research paradigms in contrast to mainstream Western research practices that are engaged as linear, objective, and outcome-oriented activities. In turn, we offer propositions for building team environments where open research-creation practices can unfold, informing a periphery of shared space for Indigenous and Western paradigms.
Arts-based knowledge translation (ABKT) is a process that uses diverse art genres (visual arts, performing arts, creative writing, multimedia including video and photography) to communicate research with the goal of catalysing dialogue, awareness, engagement, and advocacy to provide a foundation for social change on important societal issues. We propose a four-stage ABKT planning framework for researchers: (1) setting goals of ABKT by target audiences; (2) choosing art form, medium, dissemination strategies, and methods for collecting impact data; (3) building partnerships for co-production; and (4) assessing impact. The framework is derived from examples across sectors of the different art forms currently being used in ABKT, and discusses how researchers have attempted to evaluate the impact of their ABKT efforts. Ultimately, our goal is to provide a practical ABKT framework to assist researchers, but more work is needed to explore the four dimensions in practice.
