Exploring family and domestic violence through hospital admission data in regional and remote Queensland, Australia
Writing retreats as spaces to create Indigenous postgraduate research communities of practice
Publish or perish is the cautionary aphorism reminding academics to produce academic work for career longevity. For communities historically excluded from tertiary institutions, this aphorism can also signify a responsibility to ensure their voices are heard. Tertiary institutions recognise the importance of fostering productive writing opportunities; and writing retreats are a valuable approach. This article demonstrates the importance of writin…
Stories from the river
This article aims to interpret and theorise non-Indigenous health students’ emotional learning experiences within a cultural safety course from an Australian First Peoples’ perspective. All undergraduate health students enrolled in a First Peoples’ health and cultural safety course were invited to complete a post-course online survey. The survey included quantitative items along with six free-text responses about students’ emotional learning expe…
Growing learning dispositions in Indigenous studies
Indigenous studies has come a long way. In this paper, we share some bold steps we have taken to develop a learning process that situates Indigenous people as a people of place, a people of knowledge and a people of science. This teaching disengages students from learning about Indigenous people as remnants of the past. We extend earlier conversations by focusing on the development of learning dispositions which enable students to better navigate…
The ‘Pedagogy of discomfort’
To improve healthcare practices and increase cultural safety when working with First Peoples, it is essential that students engage with challenging discourses that critically engage their social, political, personal, professional and historical positioning. Such engagement may provoke emotional responses in students. However, little is known about the nature of non-indigenous students’ emotional engagement when learning First Peoples health conte…
Yarning” as a Method for Community-Based Health Research With Indigenous Women
This project explores yarning as a methodology for understanding health and wellness from an indigenous woman's perspective. Previous research exploring indigenous Australian women's perspectives have used traditional Western methodologies and have often been felt by the women themselves to be inappropriate and ineffective in gathering information and promoting discussion. This research arose from the indigenous women themselves, and resulted in …
Perspectives on a Decolonizing Approach to Research About Indigenous Women's Health
This paper explores a decolonizing approach to research about Indigenous women's health in Australia. The paper identifies the strengths of decolonizing methodologies as a way to prioritize Indigenous values and worldviews, develop partnerships between researchers and the researched, and contribute to positive change. The authors draw on Laenui's (2000) five-step model of decolonization to describe their work in the Indigenous Women's Wellness Pr…
Getting the best from nanotechnology
If we're going to get the best from nanotechnology, we need to pay close attention to its societal and ethical implications from the technology's inception, rather than waiting until it is a mature technology with problems already embedded in society. In this article, we discuss such a paradigm, beginning with a discussion of the similarities between nanotechnology and other disruptive technologies. We then discuss some of the issues that will ha…
