Event Description
- Full Description:
- Culturally-appropriate research processes involve carefully considering how to engage Indigenous participants by prioritising ways of communicating that are culturally prescribed, cooperative, and respectful. For example, the research project that is the basis for this presentation makes use of yarning/narrative and Dadirri as both vehicles for data generation and treatment.
Yarning/narrative is an Indigenous cultural form of conversational method used in this research to build and establish relationships with participants and to gather their views/stories through storytelling (Bessarab & Ng’andu, 2010; Fredericks et al., 2011).
Dadirri is slightly different to yarning as it involves deep and respectful listening (Atkinson, 2002; Ungunmerr, 1998). This creates a reflective space that is atypical in Western ways of listening and conversing (Sandri, 2013).
The reflective potentials inherent in these approaches are highlighted in ruminating upon what is said/left unsaid.
