About me
I am a Ngarrindjeri educator and am passionate about working alongside students as we collaboratively broaden our understandings about Aboriginal Research methodologies and constructions of knowledge. I enjoy teaching about Aboriginal Research methodologies and its associated ethics and protocols. I also enjoy working alongside others and through principles of respect, reciprocity, trust and understanding to critique and reframe understandings of cultural competence. My PhD research focused on cultural competence and led to the development of a framework of 'positioning self in relationship to ways of knowing, ways of being and ways of doing cultural competence'. I am also a strong advocate of Indigenous epistemologies and pedagogies in teaching and learning.
