Christine Stanton is a Professor in the Department of Education at Montana State University. In a recent Provost’s Lecture, she tells about her research and experiences in indigenous communities, such as Lander, Wyoming, where her career began. Her term for this work is “community-centered participatory research,” which relies on indigenous mentors who are co-creators of the findings and stories that result. Stanton situates her efforts within a framework of four R’s: relationality, reciprocity, responsibility, and respect.
