Description
Indigenous communities in the Kimberley, and across Australia, hold different protocols and expectations when it comes to how outsiders (including researchers) ought to behave and engage.
Historically, researchers active in the Kimberley have not always conducted themselves in respectful ways, which can disrupt trusting relationships and diminish the research endeavour; many Indigenous people are suspicious of researchers, and for good reason.
This conversation will seek to elucidate the kinds of place-based protocols that researchers need to be mindful of, and to advise on how researchers might slow down, step carefully and engage meaningfully with Indigenous people.
