After the Return: Understanding Re-engagements with Aboriginal Collections

该项目旨在调查被遣返的文化收藏品如何重新融入澳大利亚中部土著个人和社区的生活。作为对遣返的中长期后果的第一次系统研究，该项目旨在发现如何更好地制定、执行遣返政策和做法并为其提供资源。该项目旨在通过提高土著人的观点和开发社区资源，为土著社区和更广泛的澳大利亚提供重大利益。它还应通过深入了解遣返的影响，使博物馆部门受益，并有助于设计新的政策框架。

This project aims to investigate the dynamic ways in which repatriated cultural collections are re-integrated back into the lives of Aboriginal individuals and communities in central Australia. As the first systematic study of the mid-to long-term consequences of repatriation, the project intends to discover how repatriation policies and practices might be better developed, implemented and resourced. The project is designed to provide significant benefits to Aboriginal communities and wider Australia through the elevation of Indigenous perspectives and the production of community resources. It should also benefit the museum sector by developing insights into the effects of repatriation and enable the design of new policy frameworks.
