Journey of an Outsider. In search of a respectful Indigenous research protocol

      Аннотация: Journey of an Outsider takes a critical look at the legacy of past research done in Indigenous communities and suggests a new way forward for present researchers.The author shares insights gained as she reflects on her own biases and assumptions in preparation for a research project with an Indigenous organization. Drawing on the work of Indigenous scholars concerning research ethic for outsider academics, she examines some important issues such as positionality, research appropriateness, creating relationships and reciprocity in relation to her own work. In addition, the critical topics of ownership, control and access to research with Indigenous communities are thoroughly considered.The resulting processes and protocols are a good starting place for those wishing to engage in research that benefits and respects the communities and individuals that they wish to study.This book provides insight for all Non-Indigenous academics wishing to work respectfully with Indigenous communities.
