    Project Details

    Description

    This project takes an ethnographic approach to the question of Indigenous rights. Its point of departure is the UN's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, recently endorsed by the Australian government. Centred around community case-studies in arid-zone Australia, this project asks how rights are understood, negotiated and practiced at local, national and global levels: in the Indigenous communities themselves; in government policies and approaches; and in the work of NGOs. This work will write Australia's Indigenous peoples into the international debate on globalizing rights. Thus, revealing potentialities for shifting systemic disadvantage and locating new pathways for change.
