The role of First Nations’ music as a determinant of health

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to track how First Nations' music and musicians are shaped by, and in turn may shape, powerful social determinants of health in Australia. That knowledge will be used to generate new models and frameworks for health promotion and arts-health policy and practice internationally. The project is significant because it responds to calls for health approaches that are strength based, First Nations-led, and culturally secure. Expected outcomes include: new models of First Nations' social and cultural health determinants; new tools to promote health; international research partnerships; and researcher and higher degree opportunities. Benefits include new tools for promoting First Nations' health and music development.
