ALBA-IBRO Webinar - Indigenous voices in neuroscience: transforming research practices

As part of the ALBA-IBRO Global Diversity Series, this webinar focuses on the intersection of Indigenous knowledge and neuroscience, highlighting the systemic challenges that neuroscientists from these communities navigate in academia, and the ongoing efforts to redefine what constitutes Indigenous research.

Participants will gain insights into the lived experiences of Indigenous neuroscientists. The session will address the systemic barriers these scientists encounter, including underrepresentation, negative stereotypes, cultural misappropriation, the lack of recognition for Indigenous origin, and the need for better self-identification mechanisms within academic institutions.

The webinar will also present best practices from projects that integrate Indigenous health research with community involvement. These examples will illustrate the importance of cultural awareness for a shift towards more inclusive, holistic methodologies when studying the brain.

This webinar is part of the ALBA-IBRO global diversity webinars and organised with the support of the International Brain Research Organization, a founding partner of the ALBA Network.
