Abstract
The experiences of Indigenous people in the academy are diverse, each perspective with its own story to tell regarding our academic journeys as Indigenous scholars. This thesis draws on experiences and findings from a qualitative research methodology that is specifically auto-ethnographical. The underpinning theoretical framework used was from an interpretivist paradigm, and the qualitative research methods used were self-reflective and self-observatory journalling of my experiences. This thesis presents an in-depth overview of the themes that emerged from this project’s work and its findings. The work documented in this thesis concludes that there is ongoing work to be done in supporting, with greater commitment, all Indigenous academic matters. The other concluding factor that emerged from the work of this project is the potential authentic impact our shared stories of life in the academy as Indigenous scholars can continue to have when they are brought forth in authenticity in our research and other academic work.
