A First Nations Sovereign Approach to Decolonising Colonial Institutions

该奖学金旨在从根本上重建澳大利亚的殖民法律的机构，以消除他们目前对土著人民和社区造成的伤害。众所周知，殖民地的法律的机构，如刑事司法制度、最高法院程序和儿童保护制度，在二十一世纪继续对澳大利亚第一民族产生重大的负面影响。研究人员尚未能够回答我们如何才能最好地使殖民地的法律的制度非殖民化的问题。该项目假设，我们可以通过理论化和开发一个适用于法律的和监管部门的连贯的基于实力的自我决定模型来推动积极的变化。

This Laureate Fellowship aims to fundamentally re-make Australia’s colonial legal institutions in order to remove the harm they currently do to Indigenous people and communities. It is well known that colonial legal institutions such as the criminal justice system, coronial processes and child protection systems continue to have significant negative impacts on First Nations Australians in the twenty-first century. Researchers have not yet been able to answer the question of how we can best decolonise colonial legal systems. This project hypothesises that we can drive positive change by theorising and developing a coherent strengths-based self-determination model that is applicable across legal and regulatory sectors.
