Frequently Asked Questions

We try to take note of the questions everyone seems to have as well as any we can think of before they’re even asked.

Knowledge Makers is a collaborative teaching initiative that helps Indigenous students learn the research process and how to publish as Indigenous researchers.

Each year, we bring together up to 15 Indigenous undergraduate students from across the university to learn how to ‘make knowledge’ through a multi-modal approach.

We publish special topic journals with partners to highlight specific areas of knowledge.

Knowledge Makers is headed at Thompson Rivers University in what is commonly referred to as ‘Kamloops, British Columbia’.

It is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Secwepemc Nation within Secwepemcul’ecw.

For our annual publications, we require participants to meet specific criteria to publish a paper, including being an Indigenous student or researcher affiliated with TRU or one of our educational partners.

These requirements can vary depending on the volume, as special editions may set their own specific criteria.

Knowledge Makers puts out a call for papers. The call for papers outlines the requirements for program applicants.

Knowledge Makers can consider submissions from outside Thompson Rivers University, depending on various factors. Please reach out to us for more information.

We produce an annual publication, with additional special editions.

The best place to find the most up-to-date information on whether we are seeking submissions for a Knowledge Makers volume is our “Become a Knowledge Maker” page.

If you can’t find the information you are looking for please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
