Ngukurr to Newcastle: intercultural collaboration and influence

这个跨学科项目将探索来自偏远土著社区的居民对他们自己的社区和更广泛的澳大利亚社会的跨文化贡献。在这样做的过程中，它旨在挑战偏远土著社区以赤字为中心的主流观点，并将这些社区作为活跃的跨文化交流场所进行研究。它将支持社区成员收集和记录有影响力的人的故事，并从土著的角度参与土著历史。与社区的合作将确保这些故事以可访问的形式保存下来，以便后代和未来的领导人可以访问。

This interdisciplinary project will explore the intercultural contributions of residents from a remote Aboriginal community both on their own community and the broader Australian society. In doing so it aims to challenge dominant deficit-centred view points of remote Aboriginal communities and instead examine these communities as sites for lively intercultural exchanges. It will support community members to collect and document stories about the people who were an are influential and in doing to engage in Indigenous histories from an Indigenous perspective. Collaborative engagement with the community will ensure that these stories are preserved in accessible forms so that they are accessible for future generations and future leaders.
