Bio
Dr Heena Akbar’s research is shaping how Indigenous knowledge is used to address the health and well-being of First Nations peoples, including Maori & Pasifika ( Pacific Islander) peoples, particularly women with type 2 diabetes. Her research seeks to understand the socio-cultural determinants that contribute to health and well-being of Maori and Pasifika peoples and culturally and linguistically diverse populations, integrating community participatory action research and Indigenous perspectives and knowledge systems with social justice principles. Her co developed solutions lead to Heena being awarded the auDA Foundation fellowship in 2017 to co-design and co-develop an e-health family-centred, diabetes self-management intervention. Her research serves to reduce the social and economic burden from diabetes and its related complications, and impact policy development that translates to better health outcomes for Maori & Pasifika peoples in Australia. Heena’s research now develops community-based solutions that provide access to affordable food for a healthy and active life so as to reduce the burden of chronic diseases for Maori & Pasifika families and communities. Heena has extensive experience working with First Nations Peoples in Australia and International. Heena is currently based with the University of Queensland, School of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Public Health in the undergraduate and the MD program.
