Planning to deliver excellent research with impact can start off with the simple but powerful act of listening.One group of researchers at UTS who are considered the best in their field for research impact and engagement, and pride themselves on their frank and fearless research and advocacy with the communities they serve, is the team at the Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research, headed up by Distinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt a Eualeyai/Kamillaroi woman.In this episode of Impact at UTS, we find out what it means to centre Indigenous communities in research and why indigenous peoples’ interests, knowledge and experiences must always be at that centre of research methodologies and construction of knowledge about indigenous people.We also hear from two non-indigenous senior researchers at Jumbunna, Paddy Gibson and Craig Longman, who share their experiences on collaborating with communities, and why it is essential that a self determination framework drives the research agenda when collaborating with First Nations people.To find out more visit reshub.uts.edu.au or Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research Note some of the content discussed in this podcast may be distressing to listeners, if so, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14Featured in episode six of Impact at UTSHost and Associate Professor Martin Bliemel, the Associate Dean of Research for the Faculty of Transdisciplinary InnovationDistinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt, Director of Research at the Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education & ResearchPaddy Gibson, Senior Senior Researcher at the Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education & ResearchCraig Longman, Deputy Director and Senior Researcher at the Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education & ResearchProfessor Thalia Anthony, UTS Faculty of Law and Core Member, SIC - Strengthening Indigenous CommunitiesProfessor Kate Barclay, Professor of International Studies and Global Societies and Core Member at the UTS Centre for Business and Social Innovation (CBSI)Julian Zipparo, Executive Manager of Research Engagement, UTS Research OfficeImpact Studios producer/journalist Cassandra SteethThe Impact at UTS podcast is made by Impact Studios at the University of Technology Sydney, an audio production house funded by the Deputy Vice Chancellor of Research
