This NAIDOC Week, the theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’ is a tribute to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their knowledges and traditions that have been passed down through generations and will continue to shape the future.
But how can we help build that future? To empower the next generation, we must reflect on how we can conduct research respectfully. If you are a researcher seeking to understand how to find and work respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research and data, Griffith’s Indigenous Research Unit (IRU) and the Library have collaborated to develop the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research guide. In this guide you will find links to research resources, such as data, statistics and journals, and guidance on evaluating your research. There is also information on copyright and links to support areas within Griffith University, including the IRU.
The IRU supports Indigenous research, advocating for Indigenous appropriate approaches and fostering organisational engagement with and between Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers. The IRU works in collaboration with GUMURRII Student Success Unit and Griffith Graduate Research School (GGRS) to provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Higher Degree Research (HDR) candidates with support and guidance throughout their research journey.
As we near the end of NAIDOC Week 2025, join us in honouring the strength and vision of Elders and help us build a legacy for the next generation that we can all be proud to share.
