In August, Professor Dawn Bessarab, a proud Bard/Yindjibarndi woman and renowned Indigenous researcher and educator, will deliver the ‘Yarning About Yarning in Research’ workshop in-person on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja in Boorloo (Perth), Western Australia.

A highly regarded and sought-after leader in Indigenous methodologies and participatory action research, Professor Bessarab developed the framework on research Yarning as an Indigenous conversation, which is now widely applied across the Australian and International communities. She has championed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous researchers to build their capacity to deliver high-impact research.
