Preparing Postgraduate Research Students to Research Indigenous Topics
Ailie McDowall
Innovations in Education and Teaching International, v61 n3 p541-554 2024
When Indigenous and non-Indigenous postgraduate research students start researching Indigenous topics, how can we best prepare them for the task ahead? In this article, I describe the approach taken by one regional Australian university to support research students with Indigenous topics through a Master of Philosophy (Indigenous). Drawing on Nakata's cultural interface theory, the programme is designed to grow students' capacities to both negotiate the intersection between Indigenous and Western knowledges and successfully complete a research thesis. This article outlines the pedagogical underpinnings of the programme and describes some of the practices used throughout one-week intensives.
