PD Sessions @ Zoom: Supporting Indigenous Research and Engagement
Aboriginal researchers encounter institutional barriers to Indigenous Australian research, and less experienced non-Indigenous researchers often need more understanding of the measures required to protect Indigenous knowledges in research. Yet, few institutions have taken active steps towards identifying and addressing such challenges.
This presentation will showcase the collaboration between the Dean of Indigenous Futures and the Research Office at Curtin University in developing research agreement templates suitable for Indigenous Australian research projects. The approach seeks to minimise lengthy delays for those conducting Indigenous research through pre-determined clauses within the agreement templates. This approach enhances principles of Indigenous involvement in University governance, builds upon the University’s commitment to reconciliation, and recognises that bespoke contractual agreements are more suited for the needs of Aboriginal researchers and projects.
