Navigating the cultural interface
Indigenous PhD scholars’ experience of working toward epistemological equity in health research across Australia, Canada and New Zealand
About
This project examines the experiences of Indigenous PhD scholars in Australia, Canada and New Zealand and explores the ways in which they are championing community-informed and Indigenous-led research at the cultural interface in higher education.
Utilising an international comparative approach, and drawing on in-depth interviews and/or yarning circles with Indigenous PhD scholars and academics working in the field of health, our aim is to better understand the factors that contribute to building the intellectual, cultural and social capital to support Indigenous PhD Scholars to conduct their projects in self-determined ways.
This project is funded by the Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success (ACSES) and the Australian Government Department of Education.
