Abstract
The embedding of Indigenous Australian knowledges and perspectives is a priority in tertiary education, evidenced by UniSC’s 2016 Embedding Framework. However, little is known about the experiences and preparedness of academics to embed Indigenous perspectives into curricula. We explored the collective experience of 16 School of Health academics undertaking research as experiential learning, as part of the broader ‘Time for a Yarn’ project. The team submitted four reflective pieces throughout the project. Narrative analysis identified initial themes, that were used to develop a collective narrative. Two researchers completed initial coding, with a third confirming codes and themes, before collectively weaving together the stories inherent in the reflections.The research team came together from disparate paths with various levels of knowledge and confidence. We built relationships and trust allowing us to move forward together. Highlighting that irrespective of where we are in our journey, our strength resides in our synergism.
