Djinjama is committed to understanding, influencing and championing diverse Indigenous knowledges through our research projects. Our research is guided by our director, Dr Danièle Hromek. Danièle’s PhD was passed without further correction by her examiners. Now she publishes her research independently, and with collaborators including the broader Djinjama team.
Our research considers how to elevate First Nations voices and spatial knowledge in the built environment, contribute positively to the health and wellbeing of Country through built projects, Indigenous experiences in spaces, sustainable futures and cultures, spatial equity and spatial justice, and other topics related to Indigenous peoples’ lives and cultural expressions.
Djinjama has collaborated on and completed a number of research projects to celebrate and elevate First Nations voices across diverse spaces and topics. Some are shared below.
Djinjama honours our connections to Country, community, culture and kin through our work. Djinjama’s projects actively interact with lands, waters and air, and as such we actively protect the rights of Country to be healthy in our work. We respect Traditional Custodians who have long cared for Country and aim to elevate First Voices in all our work. We are grateful to Elders and Knowledge Holders for their continued sharing of wisdom, story, language, and knowledge.
Cultural Sensitivity Warning
For some First Nations communities it is customary not to mention names or reproduce images associated with the recently deceased. Members of these communities are respectfully advised that there may be people who have passed away mentioned in writing or depicted in image in on this website.
