Title: Nyerna studies: Thinking about community research
Abstract: Over the past six years, Victoria University of Technology, Melbourne, has been working in partnership with the Indigenous people of Echuca on the design and implementation of a highly innovative Bachelor of Education degree. The program entitled Nyerna Studies, a local Indigenous word meaning 'to sit, to listen, to learn, to remember', has brought together university personnel and local community members to work on serious socio-cultural ideas for mutual benefit, to improve educational outcomes at the tertiary level and to make progress towards local reconciliation.
