Queensland Regional Gathering (Australia)
University of Queensland’s Customs House
TITLE
Indigenous Futures and Liveliness symposium
INSTITUTION
University of Queensland
DATES
May 29-31
SUMMARY
The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia’s leading research and teaching institutions. We strive for excellence through the creation, preservation, transfer, and application of knowledge. For more than a century, we have educated and worked with outstanding people to deliver knowledge leadership for a better world.
This small, hybrid symposium, with pre-recorded, live, and virtual presentations that will be recorded to share with NAISA’s broader membership, will feature a theme in keeping with the Council’s sustaining Indigenous liveliness focus. The program will include social events, morning and afternoon teas, lunch breaks, and symposium dinner. Up to 80 participants are expected, should state borders be open to domestic travel, and up to 40 Indigenous and non-Indigenous local participants, as two other universities are near the symposium location if borders are closed.
