Know our story
Welcome to the Know our story initiative.
Our ambition is to inspire, encourage and support clinical and population health researchers to work towards greater social inclusion and equity in research practices. Know our story is about working in partnership with communities of refugee and migrant backgrounds. It is also about consultation, collaboration and co-design of research; the sharing of knowledge; and different ways of working that promote social inclusion and equity.
The Know our story toolkit includes a number of written resources and an animation. We plan to expand and update these resources over time.
Know our story has been developed with sensitivity for the ways that social factors such as ethnicity, gender, sexuality, gender identity, and class operate together to limit equitable access to resources such as health care, employment, education, and housing.
We encourage researchers to adopt an understanding of social and health problems as reflections of complex intersecting and interacting factors, rather than discrete challenges facing specific groups.
Animation directed and animated by Darcy Prendergast, audio by Ben Matthews. Production company Oh Yeah Wow. Characters developed and voiced by members of the Refugee and Migrant Health Research Program, MCRI.
