About the editors
Dr Gabrielle Russell is the Acting Director of the National Centre for Cultural Competence at the The University of Sydney. She has gained experience working in diverse non-government organisations, politics, business, church organisations and higher education. She is particularly interested in how to develop cultural competence from a non-Indigenous perspective and, in particular, how to facilitate a deeper understanding of transformative ways to learn and work together. Gabrielle’s teaching and research interests include race and racism, critical pedagogies, service learning and cultural competence.
Professor Juanita Sherwood is a registered nurse, teacher, lecturer, researcher and manager and has some thirty years of experience in the field of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and education. Through her lived experience, personal study and working history, Juanita has developed a strong cultural framework, which enables her to effectively present her knowledge in the context of education, history, culture, health and social justice. Her research focuses on Indigenous health, education, and social justice, Indigenous pedagogy, Indigenous research methodologies, Indigenous ethics and, perhaps more importantly, cultural competence.
