On January 27, 2016, Dr. Montgomery will be giving a听谤别蝉别补谤肠丑听蝉别尘颈苍补谤听entitled听Paths and Pitfalls in Contemporary Aboriginal Child Welfare Research.

Since the 1970鈥檚, Aboriginal people have become increasingly more involved in developing and operating Child Welfare programs to servetheir communities across Canada.听听 Over the intervening years, much听technological and social change has taken place, however it remains patently clear that the pernicious impacts of Canadian colonialism continue to impact relationships between First Nations, governments, and academics.听 Social science research has the potential to document progress and indicate directions forward; however, unless research relationships respect community ethical standards, interests and capacities, there are many places where best intentions can falter.

Trust, mutuality and reciprocity remains elusive.

In this presentation, University of Regina Social Work Assistant Professor Dr. H. Monty Montgomery (Irish Canadian/Mi鈥檏maq) will describe contemporary understandings of epistemologic, methodologic and practical dynamics associated with conducting child welfare research with Aboriginal peoples in a good way.听 His talk will explore how ethical frameworks (e.g. OCAP) can assist researchers in navigating through landscapes frequently marked by competing interests, technological limitations and relational misgivings.听
