Interdisciplinary Development Initiative (IDI) in Applied Indigenous Scholarship

Led by Western's Indigenous scholars, the IDI is committed to setting the foundation from which Western can become a global destination for Indigenous scholarship. To achieve this goal, it brings together a broad network of interdisciplinary scholars and support services who will draw from their skills, capabilities and passions to make Western a place that fosters inclusion, teaching excellence and research innovation in Indigenous scholarship.
This three-year IDI is funded by Western University.
