Brief description Indigenous Research Methodologies: Frameworks toward Indigenous Intellectual Sovereignty and the Decolonisation of Research. This project aims to critically examine theories and methods of research enquiry emerging from contemporary Indigenous Australian research scholarship. It does so by asking ?what is Indigenous about Indigenous research? and ?can there be a distinctive Indigenous Australian perspective on epistemology, methodology and philosophy of research?? \r\nThe research will be informed by analysis of key text/ discourses on Indigenous research methodologies by Indigenous scholars engaged in transformative praxis. Outcomes include the completion of a PhD candidature, mapping concepts and theories of Indigenous Research Methodologies, developing an Indigenous intellectual framework to assist Indigenous scholars to negotiate knowledge production and research methodologies.\r\n\r\n
