Learning to understand western and indigenous sciences

This issue of Humanities Research offers four papers exploring relations between Western and Indigenous sciences. They derive from the `Science and Other Indigenous Knowledge Traditions' conference, held at the Cairns campus of James Cook University in August 1996. The confer-ence was an ambitious venture, sponsored by the Humanities Research Centre, in collaboration with Bukal Indigenous Consulting, the Centre for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Participation in Research and Development of James Cook University
