Walking with Jindaola - University of Wollongong

Each year a call for applications to ‘Join the Journey’ of Jindaola is advertised internally at UOW. Individuals are encouraged to form an interdisciplinary team [usually representative of a school, unit, faculty or a particular way of Knowing, Being or Doing Knowledge], and book a consultation with Jaymee Beveridge before undertaking the EOI process.

Further information regarding the program can be found on this website, within the handbook, and through some of the publications that have emerged from the programs research.

Internal applications

The application process involves the submission of an EOI and interview. The annual EOI round will be publicised internally. Please contact the Jindaola support team (jindaola-support@uow.edu.au) for more information regarding future rounds.
