What it means to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Academic in 2022
29 September 2022 10:00am–11:00am
You are invited to attend What it means to be an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Academic in 2022 – A Mini-Seminar and Q&A Session, where two of UQ's Indigenous academics will discuss their experiences of being Aboriginal academics. We seek to foster a shared understanding about the unique challenges and opportunities that exist for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in higher education and research today.
Speakers:
- Dr Jeremy Tarry (Lecturer in Chemistry, Faculty of Science)
- Professor Maree Toombs (Associate Dean (Indigenous Engagement), Faculty of Medicine)
If you are interested in learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in the sciences and academia, then please come along. Questions submitted ahead of time for the Q&A session are particularly welcome – please send questions to j.tarry@uq.edu.au
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and their custodianship of the lands on which UQ operates.
We pay our respects to their Ancestors and their descendants, who continue cultural and spiritual connections to Country. We recognise their valuable contributions to Australian and global society.
