RESEARCH INTERESTS

My interests sit at the intersection of health equity, curriculum design and Indigenous health education. My approach is practical and applied, oriented toward real-world impact rather than building an individual research profile for its own sake. I draw on diverse collectivist and transformative worldviews, reflecting a belief that meaningful systems change requires iterative, relational, often messy co-design between multidisciplinary teams and that the messy stages are where the meaningful insights arise.

 

My key areas of research and practice are:

  • Decolonising curriculum design and assessment in health professional education
  • Two Ways/Both Ways pedagogy and teaching at the cultural interface
  • Ethical attribution and citation of Indigenous Knowledges in academic settings
  • Strengths-based, community co-designed health promotion in remote Aboriginal communities
  • Monitoring, evaluation and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) for Indigenous health and education programs/projects
  • I am increasingly interested in how new technologies can support culturally safe practice while protecting Indigenous Peoples' Cultural and Intellectual Property.
