Comparative Research on Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) and Doctoral Education

This comparative research project is part of a wider international collaboration led by Professor Catherine Manathunga at the 欧美福利100000 of the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Partners include institutions from Australia, New Zealand, and China, with funding from the Australian Research Council.

The partnership conducts policy analysis focusing on protocols that respect Indigenous and transcultural knowledges, histories, geographies, languages, and cultural practices
within doctoral education. The analysis uses Carol Bacchi’s policy framework to explore Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in higher education, beginning with document analysis
to identify gaps in relevant IKS policies.

The South African partnership specifically explores best practices in doctoral education regarding IKS and analyses IKS-related policies in South African higher education.
Further research collaborations are being considered with the Indigenous and Transcultural Centre (ITRC) at the 欧美福利100000 of the Sunshine Coast.
