Our seminar series centers Indigenous expertise and history to contemporary urban problems in Australia and demonstrates the relevance of Indigenist research approaches to international urban studies.
The summits provide an interactive forum to discuss how Charles Sturt University can usefully respond to the needs of our local communities and agencies through research partnerships.
Our group promotes First Nations ownership and authorship of knowledge and data sovereignty.
