Julie Bull is an Indigenous professor, scholar, and activist from Toronto, Ontario. She is a UPEI grad and played a large role in the opening of our very own Mawi'omi Centre.
Julie Bull is an award winning researcher of mixed Inuit descent and is a member of NunatuKavut, Labrador. She teaches in the Aboriginal Studies Program at the University of Toronto, the School of Public Health and Social Policy at the University of Victoria, and is an invited lecturer and speaker at many events throughout Canada and around the world.
In this talk, Julie draws on nearly two decades of working, studying, and volunteering in Indigenous communities in Canada by illustrating practical ways to build (research) relationships with Indigenous people. Her genuine approach to relationship building has become the cornerstone to her personal and professional life and it is this relational component that has garnered international attention. Based on the underlying principles of respect, relevance, reciprocity, and responsibility, Julie shares stories from her work and offers tangible ideas for how others can build and maintain relationships with Indigenous people. This dynamic presentation will include visuals, poetry, stories about resiliency and perseverance, and will highlight wise practices in research methods and ethics for research involving Indigenous people.
