Research Overview

1. My research is about identifying how and why teachers, students, academics and people connect to Country to enhance educational practice and healing of self. Country is Aboriginal people’s knowledge system and my research is about working with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to form a relationship with Country to implement and embedded holistic Country centred approaches to teaching and taking care of Country and self. The research with its Country inspired and informed methodologies contributes to decolonising and reculturalising educational systems and practices.
2. The research is important as it researches educationalist’s and community members relationships with Aboriginal knowledge with the focus of placing spirit into education systems and practice. This spiritual component is paramount if we are seeking our students to be holistic learnings, to heal colonial damage and restrictions, and to take care of the entity (Country) that provides us with everything we need to survive
3. The practical contribution is enhancing people understanding and skills of Aboriginal educational practice and knowledge system to close the gap between Western and Country’s knowledge systems. Simply put, the research not only helps people to take care of Country, which is taking care of self (healing) but it provides all students and society with an opportunity to understand the Country(s) they live on, and enhance teacher practice.
