Quantum Mechanics (QM) is an exciting field of physics research, at the cutting edge of science. Because of its nature, QM is also deeply entrenched in philosophy. As an Indigenous scientist and researcher with a passion for QM, I often think about concepts holistically, utilizing Indigenous philosophies and pedagogies. This way of thinking allows me to, in general, teach complex concepts to curious minds with high rates of success. I am currently engaged in deep thought and research on the subject of quantum mechanical understanding through Indigenous science in my professional life. In this class I will communicate information about concepts such as: - quantum fields - particles and interactions - energy - wave-particle duality - contemporary puzzles in quantum physics While communicating my understandings of my cultural philosophies and knowledge, and how they can help us understand these issues in a different way. This class is for deep thinkers who want more, and who enjoy discourse. I encourage discussion in my classes, and I believe reciprocity is important, so I always welcome ideas and insight.
