Abstract
This interactive session demonstrates how Yarning—a relational and culturally grounded Indigenous research methodology—can be both taught and experienced within higher education research training. Grounded in the principles of voice, knowledge, and relationship, Yarning fosters trust, reciprocity, and respect for multiple ways of knowing. By engaging research students in Yarning the approach allows learners to experience Indigenous research values in practice while deepening their understanding of decolonising methodologies. Through participation, reflection, and discussion, students gain insight into how culturally safe research practices can be embedded in their own projects. This presentation showcases Yarning as both a pedagogical tool and a research method that transforms classroom learning into lived, relational experience.
