Research and Projects<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public-facing research grounded in relationship, story, and community direction.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Blue Sky Research Lab\u2019s projects emerge through collaboration, accountability, and the ongoing work of braiding Indigenous and Western knowledges. Some are long-term research initiatives, some are creative public-facing works, and some take shape through story, teaching, and community-based engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Projects Take Shape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Projects within Blue Sky Research Lab are not isolated outputs. They are shaped by relationships with community, the needs and responsibilities that emerge through those relationships, and the broader commitments that guide the lab\u2019s work. Some projects become podcasts or public resources, while others live through teaching, collaboration, fieldwork, or evolving research partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What connects them is not format alone, but a shared commitment to accountability, Indigenous futures, and research that remains meaningful beyond the university.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Featured Project<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Auntie Is In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Auntie Is In podcast is a living intellectual tradition rooted in N\u00eahiyawak thought, story, lived experience, and layered narrative methodology. It highlights resonances and dissonances between Indigenous and Western pedagogies while making knowledge accessible in a public-facing format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research in Motion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not every project takes the same form, and not every part of the work belongs on the public website. Some projects are still developing through collaboration, community direction, or relationship-building. Others may only become public in part, or through carefully chosen formats that reflect what can be shared well and responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This page offers a public-facing view of the work in motion, while recognizing that some knowledge remains relational, contextual, and not fully visible online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
