简介 作为一名原住民教育家和研究人员，我在原住民文化背景下的工作属于最有天赋和最多产的艺术家、故事讲述者和表演者群体。考虑到澳大利亚原住民的生活条件是世界上最差的，这种创造力是令人惊叹的。这种劣势可以从生活在昆士兰州的原住民的预期寿命中看出，他们的预期寿命比澳大利亚全国平均水平低 20 岁。目前，我们正在与 Link Up Queensland 合作，与原住民社区团体开展基于设计的社会和情感福祉研究项目。1 作为一名原住民知识 (IK) 学者，我从事设计工作，因为设计非常适合澳大利亚原住民文化的视觉和叙事基础。原住民研究的伦理框架需要参与者层面的参与，因为我们与试图从几代人的侵犯中恢复过来的人们一起工作。2 在这种情况下的治愈是一个跨代项目，旨在纠正健康不平等问题。3原住民社区的社会和情感福祉是这一目标的基本组成部分，这表明视觉和叙事方法是必不可少的方法。4“尊重设计”一词来自我的研究。 对斯威本科技大学设计规划学院的贡献。尽管“尊重设计”一词在整个设计领域具有一定的前景，但我提出本文中描述的 IK 方法是为了促进更具社会责任感和环境参与度的愿景。
Introduction As an Aboriginal educator and researcher, my work in Aboriginal cultural contexts is situated among the most gifted and productive population of artists, storytellers, and performers. This creativity is amazing, considering that the life conditions of Aboriginal people in Australia are among the worst in the world. A conception of this disadvantage can be seen in the life expectancy of Aboriginal peoples living in Queensland, which is 20 years less than the Australian national average. At present, we are conducting design-based social and emotional well-being research projects with Aboriginal community groups in partnership with Link Up Queensland.1 As an Indigenous Knowledge (IK) academic, I work in design because design fits well with the visual and narrative basis of Australian Aboriginal cultures. Ethical frameworks for research in Indigenous contexts require participant-level engagement because we work with populations trying to recover from generations of violation.2 Healing in this context is a trans-generational project to re-dress health inequity.3 The social and emotional well-being of Aboriginal communities is a fundamental component of this objective, which suggests that visual and narrative approaches are essential methodologies.4 The term “respectful design” emerged from my contributions to Faculty of Design planning at Swinburne University of Technology. Although the phrase “respectful design” has some promise across the field of design, I present the IK approach described in this paper to promote a more socially responsible and environmentally engaged vision.
