This paper maps out the research journey that I am taking in my PhD research project at University of Waterloo. The purpose of this research project is to explore opportunities to co-create opportunities for decolonization on the land that I belong to \u2013 the Grand River Watershed in southern Ontario, Canada \u2013 within the ongoing process of the decarbonization of local energy systems. This paper outlines my current comprehension of the \u2018lay of the land\u2019, where I stand on it, and how I want to move forward. I expect (and hope) to be surprised and changed by this journey.<\/p>\n

I will begin with a brief outline of this paper. First, I lay out the complex Context, spanning global phenomena like climate change and colonialism, how they are interconnected, and how they play out at the local level in my community. I then develop my own Positionality within this complex context. Next, I explain why and how I am pursuing an Applied Research project in the context, and my proposed process for Decolonizing my Methods. Finally, I offer some thoughts on co-creation, transformation and courage in the Conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1409,"menu_order":2,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"Unsettling Transitions Investigating Opportunities to Co-Create Spaces for Decolonization in Decarbonization Processes on the Grand River Watershed (Canada)","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":["scott-morton-ninomiya"],"pb_section_license":"all-rights-reserved"},"chapter-type":[47],"contributor":[104],"license":[58],"class_list":["post-212","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry","chapter-type-standard","contributor-scott-morton-ninomiya","license-all-rights-reserved"],"part":243,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1409"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":785,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/212\/revisions\/785"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/243"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/212\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=212"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=212"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/rrudoctoralconference2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
