Current Institution: University of Melbourne
Fellowship: ALTC Teaching Fellowship at University of Melbourne
Fellowship Duration: 2008 - 2011
Improving university learning experiences and outcomes for Indigenous Australians is crucial for the future success of these students and their communities. Yet Indigenous and non-Indigenous teachers alike lack research-based, practical exemplars for teaching Indigenous students and curricula effectively.
In consultation with an Advisory Group of experienced Indigenous academics, I will interview Indigenous academics and students in order to:
1. Investigate how good practice in Indigenous teaching is currently described;
2. Identify exemplars of evidence-based good practice at NSW and Victorian universities;
3. Showcase/discuss the exemplars at a University of Melbourne Forum;
4. Produce research-based exemplars for publication and dissemination.
Disciplines: Academic development, Diversity, Inclusivity, Indigenous Teaching and Learning
