| Summary: |
The Flint Water Crisis was an avoidable, man-made disaster that will affect generations of Flint residents and their descendants. By using the Indigenous teachings, framework, methodology, and heuristic of the 4Rs (more specifically-respect, relationship, responsibility, and reciprocity) to analyze the rhetorics of the Crisis, a path forward to a more 'just' future (Henry, 2022) is possible. Like other decolonizing methodologies (Marshall, 2020; Smith, 1999; Wilson, 2008; Walter and Anderson, 2016), there is a commonality in how they are understood and applied-and the 4Rs are at the center of this understanding. And, this dissertation focuses on the development of the 4Rs as a decolonizing methodology and heuristic for diverse communities. |
