Dr Emily Armstrong researches intercultural communication using approaches which centre First Nations knowledges, methodologies and languages. She is a non-Indigenous qualitative researcher who works collaboratively with First Nations researchers, interpreters and leaders particularly in fields of health, education and early childhood. Alongside publications, her non-traditional research outputs facilitate engagement and research translation amongst diverse, multilingual audiences through use of innovative audiovisual dissemination methods. Dr Armstrong is a certified practicing speech pathologist, and the impact of her research is recognised by colleagues. Her current research in Galiwin’ku, North-East Arnhem Land, focusses on intercultural communication and Indigenous data sovereignty with the Molly Wardaguga Institute for First Nations Birth Rights.
