Wai Research Interview Series

Wai Research has been born out of the historical experience of “being researched on” rather than “researched with and for”, which has meant that there is a disconnect between our community and the understanding of how research can impact best outcomes and tell community stories. The purpose of the Wai Research Interview series is to find ways to bridge the gap between the community and research, to build the profile of research within the community and to build the profile of community research within wider academia.

By interviewing a wide range of indigenous researchers to see the “how and the why” of indigenous research we can start a conversation about the many different methods and approaches that are relevant and effective in research.
