Module 2: Stereotypes and the Commodification of Indigenous Social Reality
Entry 3: The danger of a single story
While researching ways to indigenize STEM curricula, I watched this TED Talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie who discusses the danger that arises when we view a person or a group of people based on only one story. The poignant message in this video is relevant to my research to ensure that while learning how to effectively weave Indigenous ways of knowing, doing, and being, it is important to hear many stories and share many perspectives.
