The Aboriginal Research Methodology Course

The Nulungu Research Institute has been delivering the Aboriginal Research Methodology Course since 2017. The course consist of two stages:

The course provides the opportunity through 'Talking/Yarning Circles' to explore discuss and debate the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal communities, leadership and governance.

The course involves workshops and lectures over three consecutive days.
