Tyson Yunkaporta: Right Story, Wrong Story

Coconut Thinking

How might knowledge be co-created as a process of relationships between humans, other-than-humans, and the land?

In this episode, I speak with Tyson Yunkaporta. Tyson is an Aboriginal scholar, founder of the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab at Deakin University in Melbourne, and author of Sand Talk and most recently Right Story, Wrong Story. His work focuses on applying Indigenous methods of inquiry to resolve complex issues and explore global crises. Tyson currently works at the Faculty of Arts and Education, Deakin University as Senior Lecturer Indigenous Knowledges. We discuss:

🥥 Transknowledging as interactions between human/human and human/other-than-human that are co-created by place and time;

🥥 The "gold rush on Indigenous knowledge" and how we might work with and through the tensions this creates to learn from each other;

🥥 Enlightenment 2.0: its shortcuts, (false) promises, and how the great re-branding.
