Join us for a discussion on Indigenous research methods

On Wednesday 6 November, ANROWS will be hosting a webinar on learning and researching through Indigenous methodologies. It’s a key approach to the ways of working and ways of knowing set out in The Australian National Research Agenda to End Violence Against Women and Children.

We’ll be joined by Fiona Cornforth, Juanita Sherwood, Nicole Tujague and Tanika Perry who will explore:

• power and positionality
• decolonising methodologies
• connections and partnerships
• strength-based approaches
• cultural safety

The Australian National Research Agenda is a national framework that identifies what evidence is needed to end domestic, family and sexual violence and how that evidence should be created.

Produced by ANROWS and co-designed with victim-survivors, academics and practitioners, the agenda aims to help those working across research and evidence ensure their work is organised, purposeful and effective.

The agenda emphasises the importance of researchers considering their methods and collaborators (ways of working) and drawing on diverse sources of knowledge (ways of knowing). 

These ways of working and ways of knowing are:

• Making better use of existing administrative data
• Applying Indigenous methodologies
• Working with the knowledge of experts by experience
• Listening to children when they are children
• Creating space for pilots and evaluations of community-led interventions
• Valuing practitioners’ expertise

This webinar forms part of a series unpacking the Australian National Research Agenda. These webinars are for anyone involved or interested in research practices, including researchers, funders, practitioners, service providers and data custodians.
