A First Nations Sovereign Approach to Decolonising Colonial Institutions

这项桂冠奖学金旨在从根本上重塑澳大利亚的殖民法律制度，以消除它们目前对土著人民和社区造成的伤害。众所周知，殖民法律制度，如刑事司法制度、验尸程序和儿童保护制度，在二十一世纪继续对澳大利亚原住民产生重大负面影响。研究人员还无法回答这样一个问题，即我们如何才能最好地实现殖民法律制度的非殖民化。该项目假设，我们可以通过理论推导和开发一种连贯的、基于优势的自决模式来推动积极的变化，该模式适用于法律和监管部门。

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.
