Content

This unit introduces students to Indigenous research approaches and Standpoint theory. The evolution of key Standpoint theorists will be analysed and discussed to provide students with a paradigm to consider Indigenous research methodologies. Current debates of resistance, compliance, and insider/outsider perspectives as experienced by Indigenous researchers who engage with the Academy will be critically reviewed and form important learning in this unit. Students will conduct self-reflexive work to map their relationality and begin to formulate a personal standpoint for Indigenous research.
