Drawing on his diverse background as a nurse, teacher, and Fulbright Schola, Prof Donovan discusses moving beyond trying to 'crowbar' Indigenous content into the curriculum, advocating instead for a relational pedagogy that aligns Indigenous understandings with core disciplinary concepts. The conversation highlights the importance of authentic Indigenous governance and the necessity of \"walking the walk\" - from executive-level decision-making to building deep, listening-based relationships with community elders. Through his personal reflections on reconciliation, Prof Donovan offers a roadmap for institutional change that puts shared growth at its heart.","meta_description":"In this special episode of the Reimagining Higher Education podcast, Prof Judyth Sachs sits down with Prof Michael Donovan, a Gumbaynggir man and Pro Vice…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1425,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/reimagining-highered-7047310/episodes/prof-michael-donovan-pro-vice-chancellor-indigenous-at-la-trobe-university-on-reconciliation-in-higher-education/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/reimagining-highered-7047310/prof-michael-donovan-pro-vice-chancellor-indigenous-at-la-trobe-university-on-reconciliation-in-higher-education.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
