- How do we consider and distinguish indigenous knowledge, traditional knowledge, science, pseudo-science, and anti-science?
- What are the power structures inherent in science and traditional knowledge?
- How can integration of knowledge systems be facilitated? To what advantage?
Symposium format
The symposium will take place over two days, with a morning and afternoon session on each day. Sessions will

integrating knowledge systems. In addition to the workshops, there will be an area set aside for posters and
displays/demonstrations.
