Aboriginal Research Yarn

Ever wondered what it takes to be a researcher?

Join us for an Aboriginal Research Yarn

Aboriginal people interested in research are invited to come along for a relaxed, informal yarn with four Aboriginal researchers from different pathways and careers. Hear about their personal journeys into research, what sparked their curiosity, and the questions they’ve set out to answer. Together we’ll explore the role and perspective of Aboriginal people in research, and why our voices, knowledges and lived experience matter. Whether you’re curious, just starting out, or have never thought of yourself as a researcher, this is a chance to be inspired, ask questions, and discover how you could shape research that makes a difference for our communities.
