Lowitja Institute

This workshop is part of The Lowitja Journal's Knowing, Being and Doing webinar series.

Host: Professor Cath Chamberlain, Co-Editor-in-Chief The Lowitja JournalSpeakers: Professor Marcia Langton AO and Associate Professor Kristen SmithThe discussion will critically explore the increasingly used concepts of Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing within health research and publishing. Drawing on diverse perspectives and experiences, panellists will examine the meanings and complexities of Indigenous epistemologies, ontologies and axiologies, including how knowledge is generated, embodied, valued and communicated within both Indigenous and Western systems.The session will encourage greater clarity, critical reflection and rigorous engagement with these concepts, exploring their implications for research, publishing, health and wellbeing, and the development of future scholarship.

In academic and policy spaces, these perspectives are increasingly described as Indigenous ways of 'knowing, being and doing'. While the phrase is widely used, there remains limited published work that unpacks the deeper foundations that underpin these ideas.This webinar series creates space to critically explore what is meant by knowing, being and doing. In particular, it engages with the epistemological foundations of Indigenous knowledge, the ontological understandings of being and relationships, and the axiological values that guide how knowledge is generated, shared, and applied in practice.Through conversations with leading First Nations scholars, researchers and practitioners, the series aims to deepen understanding of how Indigenous knowledge systems shape health, wellbeing, research, and social practice. These discussions will also explore how Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing can contribute to decolonising research and reshaping dominant ways of thinking, offering relational and holistic approaches to addressing contemporary challenges.Each webinar will focus on a different perspective, bringing these concepts to life through the insights and experiences of First Nations leaders and knowledge holders.
