About the Role
This research project is a collaborative ethnographic study examining the development and inaugural delivery of INTS 3330: O’to Po’pa Community Development Field School in June 2025. Grounded in Blackfoot teachings and shaped through interdisciplinary and intercultural collaboration at Mount Royal University, the project explores how land-based, experiential learning rooted in Traditional Ecological Knowledge can support transformative, relational, and respectful education. Guided by the wisdom of Blackfoot Elders and informed by Indigenous scholarship and intercultural frameworks such as Two-Eyed Seeing and Ethical Space, the research brings together reflections from Elders, faculty, administration, community partners, and students. As the field school becomes a permanent course offering, the project will document how Indigenous Knowledge systems, oral traditions, and community partnerships can inform enduring post-secondary pedagogy while generating practical insights for future land-based learning initiatives.
The research assistant will support the development of a final report intended for students who participated in the 2025 cohort of the course. This report will synthesize findings, highlight student contributions, and communicate key themes in a clear and engaging format. The position offers hands-on experience in qualitative research, collaborative writing, editing, and applied community-based scholarship. The tasks assigned provide the research assistant with practical experience in ethnographic research, academic and public-facing writing, qualitative analysis, and collaborative knowledge mobilization.
This is a flexible role where the work schedule is variable and may include an irregular schedule of not less than three (3) hours per shift and up to thirty-five (35) hours per week.
