Welcome to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research and Innovation Forum!

The 2024 UQ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research and Innovation Forum will be held during Research and Innovation Week.

Recognising the transformative power of narratives in conveying truths and shaping collective understanding the 2024 forum will explore research into and through stories as vehicles for truth-telling. This includes research that centres on Indigenous stories held in both the University’s archives and collections and beyond, alongside research that uses storying as a method and research that produces stories as outputs. Held in the University of Queensland Art Museum, the Forum will engage critically with the place of institutions as holders of Indigenous stories.

Our speakers for this year's forum are:

Professor Tracey Bunda, Academic Director, ATSIS Unit
Professor Anita Heiss, Professor of Communications
Associate Professor Fiona Foley, School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry, Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences
Uncle Michael Williams, UQ Elder and former Director, ATSIS Unit

Join us for a day filled with insightful discussions and networking opportunities. This event will take place at The University of Queensland Art Museum, bringing together researchers, professionals, and community members.

This event can be attended in person or online via Zoom.

Don't miss this chance to engage with like-minded individuals and contribute to advancing knowledge in this important field. We look forward to seeing you there!
