Description
"This Web publication brings together nine papers from Conference2001. A further sixteen papers have been selected for publication in book form (Taylor et al in press). The various papers in this online collection help bring into focus the twin themes of the conference; they explore the importance of place and tradition in contemporary society; and they examine the politics and processes associated with acquiring or sharing
knowledge and the ethical development of new knowledge. Recognition of Indigenous community knowledge holders and partnerships or collaborations between researchers and representatives of Indigenous communities underpin most of these contributions. Collectively, they draw attention to the interpersonal dimension of education and research." - Page 1,
