Thriving Communities
We understand that the wellness of our community is inextricably linked to culture, creative arts and social justice. The engaged rural and remote communities that surround us make the region an ideal testing ground for engaging creativity and art to advance community diversity, cultural richness and resilience.
Our researchers are having profound impacts on our art and creative industries, language revitalization, digital humanities, and intercultural understanding and are leaders in indigenous community-based research.
