Research
The Indigenous Law and Justice Hub ('The Hub') is passionate about community-designed research which is designed to benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
The Hub’s key priorities will be advanced through its research-focussed and clearing-house functions, especially in the areas of justice and treaty, but also engaging broader issues of legal pluralism and Indigenous self-determination. The thematic foci will adapt to changes in Indigenous communities’ priorities and to encompass matters of current interest.
The Hub’s research skills and experience include:
In/Justice
- Incarceration
- Over-representation
- Self-determination
- Deaths in custody
- Missing and murdered women and children
- Juvenile detention
Treaty
- Treaty making processes and governing law
- Design of Indigenous representative institutions
