Guest speaker: Evgenia Fotiou, Independent Scholar. In recent years, there have been calls to “decolonize” the academy as well as the field of psychedelic science. This lecture will reflect on potential contributions from anthropology to these conversations. Dr. Fotiou will address the question of what psychedelic science can learn from Indigenous Knowledges and how we can get closer to including Indigenous peoples as equal partners to scientific inquiry.
