National Indigenous Research and Knowledges Network
Professor John Maynard, Associate Professor Kathleen Butler and Dr Greg
Blyton were part of a successful consortium bid for ARC Special Research
Initiative funding to establish the National Indigenous Research and Knowledges
Network. The network will be a multidisciplinary
'hub and spokes' model network of Indigenous researchers at various stages of
their career from AIATSIS, Batchelor Institute, more than 20 universities and 5
partner organisations. Professor Maynard will lead the Yuraki – History,
Politics and Culture Node, which will map historical and contemporary
Indigenous advocacy through oral and documentary sources within Australia and the
USA, countries with different political structures whose histories have produced
similar Indigenous political movements.
