The National Centre for Indigenous
Studies promotes and initiates cross-disciplinary research and
teaching in a wide range of areas of relevance to Indigenous
Australians. Through this research NCIS aims to deepen Australia's
understanding of Indigenous cultures and histories and ensure
Indigenous knowledges, perspectives and experiences are respected,
valued, accessed and incorporated into all learning environments
at the ANU and beyond.
Operational Objectives
- Promote recognition and respect for Indigenous
knowledges, perspectives and experiences in law, Indigenous
public policy, community and the public domain.
- Promote debate between Indigenous and
non-Indigenous peoples, policy-makers and researchers about
our shared past, present and future at the local, national
and global levels.
- Promote the participation of Indigenous
people in research, education, teaching and learning at
the ANU.
- Establish a focal point for the co-ordination
of Indigenous education and research across the ANU academic
community and the development of collaborative initiatives
that bring together the resources of the ANU.
- Support the development of the knowledge,
skill and capacities of Indigenous peoples and relevant
organisations to build healthy, self-sustaining communities,
clans, tribes and nations.
Our Research Priorities
- Indigenous engagement, governance and
public policy
- International Indigenous issues
- Law, rights and social justice issues
- Education on Indigenous issues
