During this course, you will learn about Indigenous research theories and methodologies which you can then apply within your own supervising practice. This will help you to ethically and effectively supervise higher degree research using Indigenous methodologies, and/or with an Indigenous focus.

This course has been exceptional. The flow, the materials and all the presentation aspects are second to none. I will have to rethink everything I do in my teaching practices - both to reflect what I am learning here by intent (course materials) but also that which is unintentional (the delivery format).

Dr Natalie Morrison, Senior Lecturer, School of Medicine Translational Health Research Institute | Clinical and Health Psychology Research Initiative Western Sydney University

The microcredential is designed for disciplinary researchers who are unfamiliar with Indigenous research methodologies or with undertaking research with Indigenous peoples and communities.
