About CAR
The Centre specialises in applied anthropological research in a range of fields, much of it related to Indigenous Australian issues, especially to land-related projects such as native title research, cultural heritage surveys and natural resource development negotiations. The Centre also develops and delivers training programmes for government agencies and industry groups.A second growing area of applied research activities is migration studies. Projects focused on medical anthropology and overseas development will be carried out as opportunities arise. |
The Centre is also an umbrella group for linking certain academic research with applied studies. A general aim is to work on projects that are both of practical importance and have potential to contribute to the academic and teaching interests of staff. Where appropriate postgraduate students can become involved in the Centre’s activities.
