First Steps in Indigenizing Scientific Brain Based Content Using AI

In 2024, I authored an Open Learning Textbook for Psychology 3710 at Thompson Rivers University. This free textbook, is unique in its integration of indigenized creation-based stories alongside scientific evolutionary content and was written to reassess basic critical thinking guide lines in the context of brain-based function and dysfunction. The project also leveraged intelligent design as a framework to enhance student engagement through inclusion and respect for diverse worldviews. The book is transdisciplinary in scope and considers post formal thinking and metatheoretical convergent and validity. These “synergistic” scientific perspectives are needed to celebrate Canadian cultural diversity.
