Julie delivered a memorable Keynote Presentation When Two Worlds Collide: Ethical Quirks and Quandaries in Research Involving Indigenous People, which not only set the tone to the whole conference, but also served as a foundation for the discussion of domestic and transnational aspects in the governance of knowledge production. Both visual and academic components of the presentation were equally impressive and helped to elevate the level of the conference and its global academic and regulatory impact. Julie’s formal and informal contribution to this academic event was twice as important – not only have (they) generously shared (their) in-depth knowledge of the governance of research involving Indigenous Peoples in Canada, but also served as an ambassador of Indigenous Peoples, their unique perspective and their socio-cultural expertise in the field of traditional and modern systems of knowledge, thus actively promoting an Indigenous viewpoint and enriching Canada’s approach to research and education.”
