Decolonizing Science Narratives in Museums

WMA2025_450
Learning Format: Conversation

Museums have traditionally communicated science through a Western-centric lens, often presenting it as singular and absolute. This session invites participants into a facilitated fishbowl discussion to explore how museums can challenge dominant science narratives by integrating Indigenous knowledge and diverse perspectives. Through case studies and dialogue, attendees will examine strategies for co-creating content with historically marginalized communities, ensuring that museum exhibits and programming reflect multiple ways of knowing and more inclusive storytelling.
