Short thread, please read. #IndigenousScience #Academia
I'm back home with my dad and have thoughts about being an Indigenous scientist and academic. I'm writing this in real time so it might get disrupted and will have typos.
I am fairly successful by academic standards. I have a tenure track job, wrote papers, have grant funding, mentor students.

How can science better engage with Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities facing ecological crises? 🌎
We spoke with two Mapuche women leaders—a machi (healer) & a geographer—about territorial change, visibility of their struggle, and their knowledge. 🎥 #IndigenousScience
