This research network (2017-2018) explores how Indigenous research methodologies are applied in academic teaching and learning. Indigenous research methods emphasize qualitative, collaborative, participatory methods and empowerment frameworks (e.g. Tuhiwai Smith 1999; Wilson 2008; Denzin at al 2008; Chilisa 2012).

Aims of the network are:

To compare previous and novel data on Indigenous research methods globally.

To explore the experiences of applying different Indigenous research methods in university teaching and learning.

To advance the use of Indigenous research methods in academia.

To develop the evaluation of Indigenous research methods used in academia.
