Bush Tucker, conversation and rich pictures
pp. 238-256
Abstract
Aboriginally is a matter of family connections and a history of marginalisation and disadvantage. Aboriginal health and social inclusion are intractable problems for government. This project contributes to redressing family violence and social inclusion issues through participatory action research (PAR) with Neporendi Forum Inc (an Aboriginal organization) to enhance social justice. The research enables an integration of activities across networks that span researchers based at two universities, local youth organizations, schools and local government (see Fals-Borda & Rathman, 1991; Edgar 2001; Duhl 2001). PAR builds the capacity of participants to work holistically across the organizations and community settings. It is sustainable, addresses socio-economic concerns and uses an intergenerational and interactive design.
