At Kummara we see Research as a powerful tool for social empowerment, social justice, and cultural safety. Research can help to identify the root causes of social injustice and provide evidence-based solutions to address them. It can also help to raise awareness of social issues and promote social change. Research can help to identify and address cultural safety issues in human service delivery.
Kummara research
This area will showcase key elements of Kummara’s research and reports. At Kummara we encourage and recognise critical debate as an essential element in promoting a healthy and informed society. Critical thinking is a skill that enables individuals to analyse and evaluate information, arguments, and evidence in a systematic and objective manner. Critical thinking is essential for identifying and addressing social issues, promoting social change, and empowering individuals and communities. To encourage critical debate, we at Kummara know it is important to create a safe and respectful environment where individuals can express their opinions and ideas without fear of judgment or ridicule. We welcome your engagement with our research and reports and any critique in the hope that this adds to the knowledge in working effectively with our community.
