HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS REPORT:
This research project focuses on the civic connections of Black and/or Indigenous people in Peel Region in Ontario.
In January 2023, the project experienced a surge of energy, excellence, and thought leadership when we welcomed six Indigenous and Black co-researchers into the fold. As a newly formed group, we co-constructed the conceptual foundation for this project by engaging in dialogue with guest speakers about our varied lived experiences, articles, books, podcasts, art, and music.
Instead of a literature review that focuses on examining academic sources to understand the current state of knowledge on the topic, we created a process for a knowledge round-up – to gather and present insights from various sources, including non-academic sources, that we will build on throughout the project. While we certainly reviewed academic literature (and valued doing that work), we also wanted to document our own voices and lived experiences as part of the writing process and not be so bound by conventions.
