Doctoral research

How do diverse socioeconomic circumstances among Indigenous people in different geographic areas affect Indigenous housing policy and practice? One part of this project is doctoral research on the contribution of housing to economic development in remote areas, being undertaken in the Maningrida region with the assistance of the Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation as an ARC Linkage Project partner. Another part of this project is a broad conceptual review of Indigenous housing policy over the 40 years since the Australian Commonwealth government became involved in this arena, building on previous work on Indigenous housing policy and tenures in remote and settled areas.
