Event Details
This presentation will share findings of work done with Indigenous students on the East coast of Australia in an effort to better understand the current situation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander higher education (HE) graduates entering the workforce highlighting the personal reflections from self-identified Indigenous students.
The purpose was twofold: first, to promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student voice; and second, to provide an avenue for this voice to influence the design of employability programs in HE. This work examines how the use of Indigenous research methods, such as yarning/yarning circles, can effectively and ethically collect data to amplify and promote the student voice in ways that conventional Western research methods currently fail to do.
By better understanding students’ views we can, in turn, implement informed and tailored approaches to culturally appropriate curriculum in WIL.
