There’s a growing emergence of Indigenous data sovereignty policies in healthcare. It’s fascinating to see the different ways they’re being developed and how communities are engaged throughout the process. The process is just as important as the policy itself. #AcademicSky bit.ly/4w12n8t

Spending the day at a library workshop learning more about podcasting. Always looking for new ways to share research beyond journal articles 🎙️📚 #AcademicSky ubc-library-rc.github.io/intro-audaci...

Studio day 🎙️ Talking about cyberbullying, young people, and online life. Usually I prepare too much, but this time I skipped the script and trusted years of thinking about this work. Hoping my mouth kept up with my brain lol Curious to see the final cut 👀 #AcademicSky

One of my fav parts of presenting at an international behavioural development conference was hearing afterwards from an educator in Singapore who connected my Online Warriors findings on online hate and coping among racialized youth to supporting youth in schools. Research can travel #AcademicSky

Hey BC friends government just launched a Child & Youth Well-Being Action Plan and wants real input from families and frontline folks. If you’ve navigated child & family services, now’s a good time to share what’s working and what needs fixing. Link: engage.gov.bc.ca/childyouthwe... #AcademicSky

Learning isn’t one-size-fits-all. 💡 MAPLE (Multimodal Access for Personalized Learning Exploration) helps students discover free, reliable technologies that support different ways of learning, studying, creating, and accessing information. #AcademicSky learnyourway.science.ubc.ca

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day 💙🪶 Anyways… what did you do yesterday? #Indigenous

Quiet day over here: coffee, too many tabs open, and chipping away at research grant writing ☕️📚 #academicsky

Honoured to be featured in the Health Research BC Impact Report ✨ Grateful to be part of work that centres Indigenous strengths, relationships, and meaningful change in education and wellness research. Sechanalyagh to everyone who walks alongside this work 🩵 #AcademicSky

Day 2 back at work after a staycation. Most of my grad students have checked in, the projects are project-ing, and after 12 hours of back-to-back meetings, my calendar is hanging on by a thread 👩🏽‍💻 #AcademicSky

Job posting for a Lecturer (part-time 50%) and Coordinator for NITEP, Indigenous Teacher Education Program, at our Merritt Field Centre. Please share with your networks

Heard recently that these are the Tri-council research priority areas #AcademicSky

With all these device ban conversations happening lately, UBC interviewed me. One thing I keep saying: taking phones away won’t fix everything on its own. Our kids need support, good people around them, and adults actually willing to listen. #AcademicSky educ.ubc.ca/why-limiting...

Two book clubs 📚 One with special ed and school counselling folks on The Anti-Ableist Manifesto (structured, accessible), the other Nenqayni crew reading Becoming Kin (deep, heavy, relational circle). Different pedagogical spaces, shared learning. What are you reading right now? 👀 #AcademicSky

DRIPA (BC) sets legal expectations for provincial decision-making with Indigenous rights through speaking with Nenqayni. The current uncertainty cycle isn’t just political—it directly shapes funding, program planning, and delivery across health, youth, and research systems #academicsky #indigenous

New paper out in Etuaptmumk 👩🏽‍💻 Reimagining Two-Eyed Seeing in the age of AI—thinking about relational design, storytelling, and culturally safe youth mental health tools. Still processing what this means in practice 👀 #RelationalAI #Indigenous #AcademicSky

So much research focuses on trauma—but this scoping review shows how Positive Childhood Experiences rooted in culture, land, and relationships support Indigenous peoples’ holistic wellbeing. We need more of this direction #AcademicSky #Indigenous 🔗 psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?d... #IndigenousHealt

Indigenous peoples have long upheld practices that support holistic wellbeing 🪶 New work highlights the importance of community-led, strengths-based approaches to measuring cultural factors in health. Reading for Indigenous peoples’ health research #AcademicSky #Indigenous 🔗 rdcu.be/fajpx

Returned to an integrated youth services centre I trained nearly a decade ago🩵 Some things haven’t changed—limited space for Nenqayni youth, rising mental health & opioid challenges. But peer workers are reclaiming space. Back to listen and hold space 🐦‍⬛ #IndigenousHealth #FullCircle

How do you hold safe spaces for hard conversations? ✨ Debriefed with a grad student on teaching violence & racism through social justice. Freire reminds us: make room for voices that challenge systems. What works for you? #Pedagogy #SocialJustice #AcademicSky

Health research funding in Canada is shrinking with ~13.6% success rate today vs 30% in early 2000s 😒 More researchers, less support. Letter to Finance Minister asks for funding boost over 5 yrs. So many good research ideas waiting… exhaustion is real 🫠 #academicsky

Caught up on giving feedback over 100 assignments 😅 Urban education cohort done, northern one next! Loved connecting with Nenqayni stories & land-based wellness 🌆🪶 Book club on The Anti-Ableist Manifesto sparked honest, heartfelt convos 📚💭 #AcademicSky #InclusiveEd

found this in Quesnel Books & Company… if it hits, it hits 🌿😆 #Indigenous

Just learned about B.C. First Nations Language Authorities 🪶 They recognize fluent speakers for teaching in schools. Curious: how are Elders and community involved? Nenqayni language has always lived with those who carry it 💬 #IndigenousLanguages #CommunityKnowledge

Visited Musqueam before heading north 🪶 After years away, returning to the land and community reminded me that wellbeing, healing, and learning are inseparable from place. Some remembered me from before, even commenting on my hair 😆 Relationships and history live in the land as much as in people.

nisdẑun in the cedar tonight 🦉 I answered his two hoots, then he went quiet. Felt like one of those land teachings—know when to speak, and when to just be and listen #IndigenousWays #MoreThanHuman

A residential school denialist MP calling rez humour “divisive politics” is quite the take. Nenqayni on the Island: “Chillax, Bud. We said what we said” 😆 #IndigenousVoices #TruthTelling
