=Testimonial Reading=

For the academic article, I eventually suggested the academic research partners of the BearWatch project to conduct a "testimonial reading". 
This approach, proposed by Megan Boler<ref>Boler, M. (1997) “The risks of empathy: Interrogating multiculturalism’s gaze,” Cultural Studies, 11(2), pp. 253–273. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1080/09502389700490141.</ref>suggests for readers or listeners to accept testimony by considering themselves as implicated with the events they accept testimony for. ‘’…one must recognize oneself as implicated in the social forces that create the climate of obstacles the other must confront’’<ref>Boler, M. (1997 p.257) “The risks of empathy: Interrogating multiculturalism’s gaze,” Cultural Studies, 11(2), pp. 253–273. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1080/09502389700490141.</ref>  

This approach resonates with guiding principles for reconciliation put forward by the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC, 2015 p. 113). One of those principles proposes an ‘awareness of the past, acknowledgement of the harm that has been inflicted, atonement for the causes, and action to change behaviour’ (ibid).
