Project aims to develop advanced health outcomes for Indigenous peoples
Indigenous academic Professor Chelsea Watego will join QUT on July 26, leading a $1.7 million project to develop Indigenist Health Humanities.
Professor Watego, who joins QUT from The University of Queensland, said the project was aimed at developing Indigenist Health Humanities as a new and innovative field of enquiry, building an intellectual collective.
The funding was announced under the Federal Government’s ARC Discovery Indigenous scheme for 2021.
“We are aiming to bridge the knowledge gap that hinders current efforts to close the gap in Indigenous health inequality,” Professor Watego said.
