ABSTRACT

Reflections on what has/has not worked for Psychology Educators.
This document was developed for the Australian Indigenous Psychology Education Project (AIPEP) ‘How To’ forum held at the APS Golden Jubilee Conference, September 2015. It provides brief points on what has and has not worked for psychology educators involved in the project when attempting to implement change in the psychology curriculum to increase cultural competence, and/or in the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander psychology students.

The contact details for each educator have been included to encourage ongoing discussion and exchange between educators and institutions.

Collaborative learning and teaching project led by
Professor Pat Dudgeon of the University of Western Australia.
