On being Aboriginal in Australia: government policy, political representation and movement to treaty
What does it mean to be an Aboriginal person today? Global Studies and the Public Policy Institute invite you to a
workshop with Professor Tracey Bunda (Ngugi/Wakka Wakka), Head of the College for Indigenous Studies Education, University of Southern Queensland
Professor Bunda will provide an open, honest and critical conversation about key matters that impact upon Aboriginal peoples’ lives in Australia today. This conversation will point to matters such as government policy and key social indicators in education, health and employment; issues of identity; political representation and movement to treaty, and the developments to reclaim cultural knowledges. This conversation is intended to create a safe space of dialogue, of commonality of experience between Māori, Pacific, Pakeha and Aboriginal peoples that strengthen connection in our struggles for peace.
