Episode 70 - Learning With Indigenous Communities with Dr Emma Haynes and Mr Caleb Rivers

We are back with some more interesting guests as we round out our mini-series of episodes exploring working in research with Indigenous communities. We are joined by Dr Emma Haynes from the University of Western Australia and the Indigenous Knowledges Collaborative, and Mr Caleb Rivers, an Indigenous researcher from the University of Western Australia. We discuss Emma’s PhD work in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) as well as a range of work she is involved in with the Indigenous space, including with the Southwest Aboriginal Medical Service (SWAMS), and work with the Yolnu People up in the Northern Territory. Emma also talks us through the concept of both-way learning that brings western and Indigenous knowledges together, which has guided (and continues to guide) a lot of her work. Caleb talks us through his work on a systematic review looking at aged care for Indigenous people, and what he has seen in this area within his own family and community.
