Research summary
We are at an interesting moment in the world: many state and policy actors are relying on international instruments to grapple with historical and ongoing injustices and renew their relationships with Indigenous Peoples. As Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Governance, Dr. Shalene Jobin is working with Indigenous nations to develop governance systems and research methods that will help them to rebuild.
Jobin and her research team are prioritizing innovations and methods that will revitalize Indigenous governance systems. Ultimately, they hope their research will support Indigenous communities and organizations who want strategies to identify, rebuild and develop law and governance structures that resonate within their own legal and governance traditions.
