Funded Activity Summary

New possibilities for Indigenous representation: the opportunities and constraints of conflict among leaders. A voice in national policy debates is important for Indigenous communities around Australia. Understanding the tensions that provide opportunities and constraints for national representation will contribute to strengthening the social and economic fabric of Indigenous communities, creating new possibilities for improving health and well being outcomes. In providing evidence on dynamics of contemporary Indigenous activism and illustrating the complex challenges facing Indigenous leaders, this study will both facilitate further dialogue among Indigenous leaders and activists themselves and generate deeper, empirically-focused, understanding of this work among non-Indigenous Australians.
