Making space: Creating environments for people
of all walks of life to participate in research
Equity and diversity are core values to many organisations, but what does that mean in practice?
This joint webinar between the AAG SECG and NZAG will explore how we can create environments that are supportive of people from all walks of life.
Attendees of this webinar will:
• Develop skills to engage in challenging conversations around inclusion and recognition in projects
• Describe methods or activities used in Indigenous research to build safe, empowering, and equitable partnerships
• Gain exposure to a new transdisciplinary centre built around a community of co-creators from all walks of life
