“…Importantly, to move beyond poor-fair-good standards, and towards the ‘gold standard’ of menstrual health in sport, much can be learnt from those advancing Indigenous research methodologies 52 55–57. While Indigenous sports scholars are developing culturally responsive and relational methodologies that prioritise reciprocity, respect and responsibility,52 57 58 such approaches have yet to be applied in sports medicine research. The ‘gold standard’ is thus research about, with, and by women from diverse ethnicities and cultures, and medical approaches that value and respect cultural values and traditional knowledge about menstruation.…”

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate how athlete ethnicity is discussed in the inclusion and exclusion criteria, methodology, findings, and conclusions of research focused on menstrual health in sports science and medicine.DesignA scoping review of sports-based research conducted on athletes related to (1) menstrual health and ethnicity, (2) how researchers include/exclude participants based on ethnicity and (3) how ethnicity is discussed.Data sourcesElectronic search of PubMed and ProQuest.Eligibility criteriaArticles were included if they met the following criteria: (1) published before September 2023, (2) published in peer-reviewed journals, (3) participants were women athletes, (4) published in English and (5) relating to menstrual health. Articles were assessed as good, fair or poor quality using the Inclusion of Participant Ethnicity Quality Assessment Criteria.ResultsFrom the 1089 studies available from the initial database search, 55 studies considered ethnicity. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria and were assessed as either good (22%), fair (44%) or poor (33%) in quality in their consideration of athlete ethnicity. 81% of research articles on menstrual health in sports do not consider athlete ethnicity, and when ethnicity is discussed, it rarely meets the criteria for cultural safety in the research process. Most studies did not factor ethnicity into the analysis and lacked cultural considerations in the research design and interventions.ConclusionMore careful inclusion of ethnicity in sports menstrual health-related research and recognition of social and cultural influences on health and research outcomes for indigenous and other ethnic minority groups is needed. Such research is required to support coaches, medical personnel and support staff in designing culturally safe environments for sportswomen from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

“…All of them have led me to the same conclusion: to be a researcher that supports and respects Indigeneity there needs to be a process of decolonization, the researcher needs time to prepare themselves for the journey, and the researcher must be respectful to participants and all relations (Abolson, K., 2011;Baskin, C., 2012;Kovach, M., 2009;Wilson, S., 2008;Chilisa, B., 2020;Evans, M., et. al., 2009;Cole, P., 2002;McGuire-Adams, T., 2020;Porsanger, J., 2004;Pualani-Louis, 2007;Denzin, N. & Lincoln, Y., 2015;Kovach, M., 2010;Drawson, et al, 2017;Johnson, P., 1996;Deloria, V., 1992;Johnson, A., 2010, Tuhiwai Smith, L., 2012. All of these Indigenous research frameworks ask that the researcher understand the worldviews of their participants, and the relationships that guide them, along with socially locating themselves in the work.…”

Indigenous and Settler Perspectives of Risks and Rewards on Toronto Island

<p><em>Indigenous and Settler Perspectives of Risks and Rewards on Toronto Island </em>is a study of land and water relationships in the places we now know as Toronto and Toronto Island. The study draws on the true understanding of treaties and treaty rights from an Indigenous perspective. It shows how some consultation practices that colonial governance frameworks use today have incorporated Indigenous Knowledges but they still have a far way to go before truly recognizing Indigenous self-determination and the need for Indigenous Peoples to be seen as inherent rightsholders, especially in land management and Great Lakes water governance. The study focuses on the understanding of land and water from Indigenous perspectives and suggests modes of incorporating these understandings to address major issues that affect Toronto Island and Toronto Harbour, including water quality, contamination, and flooding due to over-development in the Great Lakes Basin. This thesis takes a two-eyed seeing approach wherein fifteen qualitative interviews were conducted with Indigenous knowledge-keepers and Toronto Island residents or water quality experts. The questions addressed the social construction of environmental risks and rewards by asking about the Toronto Purchase, Great Lakes water quality, and land use on Toronto Island. The knowledge learned from the qualitative interviews is contextualized in a historical analysis to help frame treaty rights, water governance and relationships with lands and waters from a story-telling perspective to amplify Indigenous voices in the sciences and explain the importance of Indigenous self-determination to enhance land and water management processes.</p>

“…On the other hand, since the academy evaluates knowledge based on Western standards of reliability and validity, non-Western paradigms will still have to be altered to fit the criteria of Western frameworks (Witt, 2007). In response to many of these concerns and resonating with the notion that “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house” (Lorde, 1984, p. 2), another more radical view contends that novel paradigms should be reinvented to fully center and legitimize non-Western paradigms within academia, independent of Western influence (McGuire-Adams, 2020; Santos, 2001). This paradigm, in itself, would mark self-determination, where people would become “self-sustaining subjects” independent of values and perspectives of the West (Kuokkanen, 2000).…”

Decolonizing Methodologies in Qualitative Research: Creating Spaces for Transformative Praxis

Though there is no standard model or practice for what decolonizing research methodology looks like, there are ongoing scholarly conversations about theoretical foundations, principal components, and practical applications. However, as qualitative researchers, we think it is important to provide tangible ways to incorporate decolonial learning into our research methodology and overall practice. In this paper, we draw on theories of decolonization and exemplars from the literature to propose four practices that can be used by qualitative researchers: (1) exercising critical reflexivity, (2) reciprocity and respect for self-determination, (3) embracing “Other(ed)” ways of knowing, and (4) embodying a transformative praxis. At this moment of our historical trajectory, it is a moral imperative to embrace decolonizing approaches when working with populations oppressed by colonial legacies.
